Re: Election Office Case No. P-1309-LU807-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
Pat Connell, a member of Local Union 807. Mr. Connell alleges that on November 25, 1996, he observed a truck owned by Nabisco Corporation with Hoffa campaign stickers affixed to it being driven in the New York City area. Mr. Connell now advises the Election Office that he wished 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The Election Officer, finding that the withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.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:
Pat Connell
