Source: NLRB
Employees at the Red River Army Depot located near Texarkana, Texas, employed by URS Federal Services, Inc., have voted in favor of union representation in an NLRB-supervised secret ballot election.
Agency personnel from the Fort Worth regional office conducted the election. The tally of ballots, which issued on October 22, 2014, shows 509 employees voted in favor of representation by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, and 329 opposed.
If no objections are filed within 7 days of the tally, the union will be certified as the representative of a bargaining unit of approximately 1,004 regular full and part time employees working at the Red River Army Depot.
The National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency vested with the power to safeguard private sector employees rights to organize and bargain collectively with their employers and to participate in concerted activities to improve their pay and working conditions.
