____________________________________)
Daisy Feliciano, member of Local Union 901 and alternate delegate candidate on the Tronquistas Haciendo La Diferencia slate, filed a pre-election protest pursuant to Article XIII, Section 2 of the Rules for the 2010-2011 IBT International Union Delegate and Officer Election (“Rules”). The protest alleged that Rey Lebrón, local union president and delegate candidate on the Dignidad Obrera Tronquista slate, made a campaign statement when addressing a union meeting and removed campaign material of Feliciano’s slate from a general purpose bulletin board.
By email dated May 6, 2011, protestor Feliciano requested to withdraw this protest.
Finding that withdrawal serves the purposes of the Rules, we deem this protest WITHDRAWN.
