Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a dispute between two rival labor organizations over the right to represent an employee unit at the University of Kansas consisting of about 400 janitors, maintenance workers and repair personnel. On October 17, 1973, the state Public Employee Relations Board conducted an election among the employees in the unit to select a representative. Of the 297 valid ballots cast, 157 favored the appellee Public Service Employees Union, Local 1132, A.F.L.-C.I.O., while 99 favored the appellant Kansas Association of Public Employees (KAPE). Ten ballots were void, and 41 were cast for no representation. After the election the loser, KAPE, filed with the Board objections to the election and also a complaint charging the winner, Local 1132, with a prohibited practice under K.S.A. 1972 Supp. 75-4333 (c) (1), part of the 1971 public employer-employee relations act. Both the objections and the complaint were based on the same allegations of misconduct on the part of Local 1132 in conducting its election campaign.
