RE: Election Office Case No. P-120-LU313-PNW
Gentlemen:
A pre-election protest was filed pursuant to Article XIV, Section 2(b) of the Rules for the 1995-1996 IBT International Union Officer Election (“Rules”) by Ray W. Fletcher, a member of Local Union 313. The protester alleged that Local Union 313 Secretary-Treasurer Patrick E. Swanson refused to allow the protester, a candidate for delegate, to view the Local Union’s worksite list, in violation of the Rules. Mr. Fletcher now advises the Election Officer that he wishes to withdraw his protest. The Election Officer, finding that such withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.
Sincerely,
Barbara Zack Quindel
Election Officer
