BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In April of 2020, IFPTE, Local 21 submitted a petition for recognition as majority representative of the existing unrepresented Property Appraisers Unit. Signatures were verified and the Labor Relations Unit requested the California State Mediation and Conciliation Services (SMCS) to verify that the employee organization had provided proof of support of at least fifty-one percent of the employees in the proposed unit, per the requirements of Section 34-12.014 of the County’s Employer-Employee Relations Resolution (EERR). On July 17, 2020 the SMCS verified that IFPTE, Local 21 had provided proof of majority support per the requirements of Section 34-12.014 of the County's EERR.

The proposed unit consists of the Junior Appraiser (DAWA), Associate Appraiser (DATA) and Assistant Appraiser (DAVA) classifications.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The results of the verification procedure will not be formally acknowledged and IFPTE, Local 21 will not be formally recognized as the majority representative of the Property Appraiser Unit.
