On Mar. 31, 2010 the National Labor Relations Board Region 15 conducted an election in New Orleans on behalf of a group of freight handlers seeking representation by IATSE Local 39 with Champion Exposition Services, LLC.\u00a0 Champion Exposition is a national general service contractor in the tradeshow industry.<\/p>\n
Thirty-three voters became eligible\u00a0 based on a stipulated election agreement between the IATSE and the employer.\u00a0 Ten eligible voters cast ballots in favor of union representation, while there were no ballots cast against it.\u00a0 One ballot was set aside because that individual did not qualify under the stipulated eligibility formula.\u00a0No timely objections were filed by the employer.<\/p>\n
On Apr. 12, the IATSE and Local 39 were certified by the NLRB as the collective-bargaining\u00a0 representative of Champion Exposition\u2019s freight employees.\u00a0 A Notice of Bargaining\u00a0 Obligation was issued by the Board and negotiations are underway.\u00a0 In the near future, it is anticipated that a new agreement will be reached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
