United School Employees of Pasco announces instructional unit election; ballots mailed May 30–June 27
Summary
United School Employees of Pasco told the board the Public Employee Relations Commission scheduled an election for the instructional bargaining unit; ballots will be mailed and must be received by PERC by 9 a.m. June 27.
A representative of the United School Employees of Pasco told the board that PERC, the Public Employee Relations Commission, has scheduled an election for the district’s instructional bargaining unit, with balloting set from May 30 through June 27.
The USEP speaker said instructional employees will receive a ballot at their home address on file with the district, that the ballot contains a single question — whether employees want to be represented by a collective bargaining agent — and that completed ballots must be received by PERC in Tallahassee by 9 a.m. on June 27. The speaker said dates for a separate election for the SRP (school-related personnel) bargaining unit have not yet been set by PERC.
Why it matters: The election will determine whether the instructional bargaining unit will continue to be represented by a bargaining agent and affects collective bargaining rights and representation for instructional staff.
Details: The USEP representative said the association is the registered bargaining agent for both SRP and instructional units and that elections follow statutory processes. The board received the update; no board action was recorded on the item.
