Re: Election Office Case No. P-1258-LU355-PNJ
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
Denis J. Taylor, president of Local Union 355. In his protest, Mr. Taylor alleged that he was denied access to campaign in the employee parking lot of Kraft General Foods (“Kraft”) in Dover, Delaware. Kraft has now agreed to allow access to its employee parking lot for campaign purposes. Therefore, Mr. Taylor has advised the Election Office 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The Election Officer, finding that the withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.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:
Denis Taylor
