Re: Election Office Case No. P-1064-IBT-NYC
Gentlemen:
A pre-election protest was filed pursuant to Article XIV, Section 2(b) of the Rules
for the 1995-1996 IBT International Union Delegate and Officer Election (“Rules”) by
Dean Rogers, an IBT International organizer. In his protest, Mr. Rogers alleged that he was being retaliated against by the IBT for his testimony in a previous Election Office protest. He claimed that the retaliation took the form of his not being reimbursed for expenses in a timely manner. Mr. Rogers now advises the Election Officer that he wishes to withdraw his protest.
The Election Officer, finding that the withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.
Any interested party not satisfied with this determination may request a hearing before the Election Appeals Master within one day of receipt of this letter. The parties are reminded that, absent extraordinary circumstances, no party may rely upon evidence that was not presented to the Office of the Election Officer in any such appeal. Requests for a hearing shall be made in writing and shall be served on:
