Section R4-2-205. Time for Submission of Authorizations

A.       A petitioner shall submit every authorization with the petition for a certification election or decertification election. Except as provided in subsection (B), the Board shall not accept an authorization after  the petition for  certification election or decertification election is filed.

B.       If the Board or its agent initially determines that the showing of interest is insufficient to warrant a pre-election hearing, the Board shall notify the petitioner that additional authorizations may be filed with the Board within the next two business days. An additional authorization is not valid unless it is signed after the day the petition is filed and the individual signing the

authorization is an agricultural employee at the time the autho- rization is signed and at any time during the eligibility period.
