Objections to improper conduct and interim orders.
The due date for objections is seven days after the tally has been served under WAC 391-25-400 or 391-25-550, regardless of whether the number of challenged ballots would affect the results of the election. The time for filing objections cannot be extended.
(1) Objections by the petitioner, the employer, or any intervenor must set forth, in separate numbered paragraphs:
(a) The specific conduct which the party filing the objection claims has improperly affected the results of the election; or
(b) The direction of election, direction of card check, or other interim rulings which the objecting party desires to appeal to the commission.
(2) Objections by individual employees are limited to conduct or procedures which prevented them from casting a ballot.
(3) Any objections must be filed and served as required by WAC 391-08-120.
