`NOTICE OF ELECTION
`
`PURPOSE OF ELECTION: This election is to determine the representative, if any, desired by the eligible
`employees for purposes of collective bargaining with their employer. A majority of the valid ballots cast will
`determine the results of the election. Only one valid representation election may be held in a 12-month period.
`SECRET BALLOT: The election will be by SECRET ballot under the supervision of the Regional Director of the
`National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). A sample of the official ballot is shown on the next page of this Notice.
`Voters will be allowed to vote without interference, restraint, or coercion. Electioneering will not be permitted
`at or near the polling place. Violations of these rules should be reported immediately to an NLRB agent. Your
`attention is called to Section 12 of the National Labor Relations Act which provides: ANY PERSON WHO SHALL
`WILLFULLY RESIST, PREVENT, IMPEDE, OR INTERFERE WITH ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS
`OR AGENCIES IN THE PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES PURSUANT TO THIS ACT SHALL BE PUNISHED BY A FINE OF NOT
`MORE THAN $5,000 OR BY IMPRISONMENT FOR NOT MORE THAN ONE YEAR, OR BOTH.
`ELIGIBILITY RULES: Employees eligible to vote are those described under the VOTING UNIT on the next page and
`include employees who did not work during the designated payroll period because they were ill or on vacation
`or temporarily laid off, and also include employees in the military service of the United States who appear in
`person at the polls. Employees who have quit or been discharged for cause since the designated payroll period
`and who have not been rehired or reinstated prior to the date of this election are not eligible to vote.
`SPECIAL ASSISTANCE: Any employee or other participant in this election who has a handicap or needs special
`assistance such as a sign language interpreter to participate in this election should notify an NLRB Office as soon
`as possible and request the necessary assistance.
`
`PROCESS OF VOTING: Upon arrival at the voting place, voters should proceed to the Board agent and identify
`themselves by stating their name. The Board agent will hand a ballot to each eligible voter. Voters will enter the
`voting booth and mark their ballot in secret. DO NOT SIGN YOUR BALLOT. Fold the ballot before leaving the
`voting booth, then personally deposit it in a ballot box under the supervision of the Board agent and leave the
`polling area.
`CHALLENGE OF VOTERS: If your eligibility to vote is challenged, you will be allowed to vote a challenged ballot.
`Although you may believe you are eligible to vote, the polling area is not the place to resolve the issue. Give the
`Board agent your name and any other information you are asked to provide. After you receive a ballot, go to the
`voting booth, mark your ballot and fold it so as to keep the mark secret. DO NOT SIGN YOUR BALLOT. Return to
`the Board agent who will ask you to place your ballot in a challenge envelope, seal the envelope, place it in the
`ballot box, and leave the polling area. Your eligibility will be resolved later, if necessary.
`AUTHORIZED OBSERVERS: Each party may designate an equal number of observers, this number to be
`determined by the NLRB. These observers (a) act as checkers at the voting place and at the counting of ballots;
`(b) assist in identifying voters; (c) challenge voters and ballots; and (d) otherwise assist the NLRB.
`
`WARNING: This is the only official notice of this election and must not be defaced by anyone. Any markings that you may see on any
`sample ballot or anywhere on this notice have been made by someone other than the National Labor Relations Board, and have not
`been put there by the National Labor Relations Board. The National Labor Relations Board is an agency of the United States
`Government, and does not endorse any choice in the election.

`NOTICE OF ELECTION
`RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES - FEDERAL LAW GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO:
`Form, join, or assist a union
`
`Choose representatives to bargain with your employer on your behalf
`
` Act together with other employees for your benefit and protection
`Choose not to engage in any of these protected activities
`
`In a State where such agreements are permitted, the Union and Employer may enter into a lawful union-
`
`security agreement requiring employees to pay periodic dues and initiation fees. Nonmembers who inform
`the Union that they object to the use of their payments for nonrepresentational purposes may be required to
`pay only their share of the Union's costs of representational activities (such as collective bargaining, contract
`administration, and grievance adjustment).
`It is the responsibility of the National Labor Relations Board to protect employees in
`the exercise of these rights.
`The Board wants all eligible voters to be fully informed about their rights under Federal law and wants both
`Employers and Unions to know what is expected of them when it holds an election.
`If agents of either Unions or Employers interfere with your right to a free, fair, and honest election the election can be
`set aside by the Board. When appropriate, the Board provides other remedies, such as reinstatement for employees
`fired for exercising their rights, including backpay from the party responsible for their discharge.
`The following are examples of conduct that interfere with the rights of employees
`and may result in setting aside of the election:
`Threatening loss of jobs or benefits by an Employer or a Union
`
`Promising or granting promotions, pay raises, or other benefits, to influence an employee's vote by a party
`
`capable of carrying out such promises
` An Employer firing employees to discourage or encourage union activity or a Union causing them to be fired
`to encourage union activity
` Making campaign speeches to assembled groups of employees on company time, where attendance is
`mandatory, within the 24-hour period before the polls for the election first open or the mail ballots are
`dispatched in a mail ballot election
`Incitement by either an Employer or a Union of racial or religious prejudice by inflammatory appeals
`
`Threatening physical force or violence to employees by a Union or an Employer to influence their votes
`
`The National Labor Relations Board protects your right to a free choice.
`Improper conduct will not be permitted. All parties are expected to cooperate fully with this Agency in maintaining
`basic principles of a fair election as required by law.
`Anyone with a question about the election may contact the NLRB Office at (513)684-3686 or visit the NLRB
`website www.nlrb.gov for assistance.
`
`WARNING: This is the only official notice of this election and must not be defaced by anyone. Any markings that you may see on any

`been put there by the National Labor Relations Board. The National Labor Relations Board is an agency of the United States

`opportunity to express him or herself freely and in secret. As official representatives of the parties in
`this election, you should undertake your role with a fair and open mind. Conduct yourself so that no
`one can find fault with your actions during the election. The NLRB appreciates your assistance in this
`democratic process.
