EXHIBIT C (Continued) covered therein. Unless a petition is filed pursuant to Section 12 below, it shall be presumed that when said Memorandum of Understanding terminates the employee organization shall continue to be a majority representative of employees covered by said Memorandum of Understanding for the purposes of meeting and conferring regarding matters within the scope of representation; provided, however, the employee organization files with the City the information required by Section 6(a), 1 through 13 of this Resolution. Nothing contained herein shall preclude an employee organization from filing a petition for recognition pursuant to Section 6 or Section 10 of this Resolution at the expiration of Memoranda of Understanding which expire on June 30, 1981. Section 10: Procedure for Decertification of Recognized Employee Organization A Decertification Petition alleging that the incumbent Recognized Employee Organization no longer represents a majority of the employees in an established appropriate unit may be filed with the Employee Relations Officer only during the month of January of any year following the first full year of recognition or during the thirty (30) day period commencing one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the termination date of a Memorandum of Understanding then having been in effect less than three (3) years, whichever occurs later. A Decertification Petition may be filed by employees or their representative, or an employee organization, and shall contain the following information and documentation declared by the duly authorized signatory under penalty of perjury to be true, correct and complete: The name, address and telephone number of the petitioner and a designated representative authorized to receive notices of requests for further information. The name of the established appropriate unit and of the incumbent Recognized Employee Organization sought to be decertified as the representative of that unit. An allegation that the incumbent Recognized Employee Organization no longer represents a majority of the employees in the appropriate unit, and any other relevant and material facts relating thereto. Proof of employee support that a majority of the employees in the established appropriate unit no longer desires to be represented by the incumbent Recognized Employee Organization. Such proof shall be submitted for confirmation to the Employee Relations Officer or to a mutually agreed upon disinterested third party. The Employee Relations Officer can only accept those petitions which 1) request decertification of the current formally recognized employee organization and 2) do not request to carve out another unit from the already established appropriate unit. An employee organization may file a Petition under this Section in the form of a Recognition Petition that conforms to the requirements of Section 6 of this Resolution in satisfaction of the Decertification Petition requirements hereunder. The Employee Relations Officer shall initially determine whether the Decertification Petition or Recognition Petition, if any, have been filed in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Resolution. If his determination is in the negative, he shall offer to consult thereof with the representative (s) of such petitioning employees or employee organization, and if such determination thereafter remains unchanged, shall return such Petition(s) to the employees or employee organization with a statement of the reasons therefore in writing.
