A. The executive director of the board, upon signed |
request of the university, academy or technical community |
college alleging that one or more university, academy or |
technical community college employees or employee |
organizations have presented to it a claim to be |
recognized as the representative of a bargaining unit of |
university, academy or technical community college |
employees, or upon signed petition of at least 30% of a |
bargaining unit of university, academy or technical |
community college employees that they desire to be |
represented by an organization, shall conduct a secret |
ballot election to determine whether the organization |
represents a majority of the members of the bargaining |
unit. Such an election may be conducted at suitable work |
locations or through the United States mail, and the |
procedures adopted and employed must ensure that neither |
the employee organizations or the management |
representatives involved in the election have access to |
information that would identify a voter. |
