REPORT OF UAW LOCAL 2865 ELECTION COMMITTEE
Pursuant to the UAW Local 2865 Bylaws, UAW Constitution and the UAW Election Guide, balloting for UAW Local 2865’s Constitutional officers took place on April 26, 27, and 28, 2011. The initial tally of ballots occurred on April 29 and 30, 2011. On April 30, 2011 tallying was suspended as it was impossible to maintain quorum of the Elections Committee. During an elections committee conference call on May 3, 2011 the elections committee voted to allow counting to continue with a minority of the elections committee present, due to scheduling conflicts. Tallying resumed on May 5, 2011, and continued through May 8, 2011. At the elections committee’s recommendation, the opposing slates participated in mediation on May 5 and 6, 2011 in an attempt to reduce the number of potential challenges. The mediation failed.
During the course of the voting and tallying of ballots, various parties made numerous objections and challenges. Due to the number and seriousness of the challenges and objections, the full Elections Committee (via conference call) decided on May 6, 2011 to count all of the ballots where voter intent was clear to all sides rather than resolve the challenges and objections. As a result, the Elections Committee (via conference call) also unanimously decided on May 8, 2011 that adjudicating all challenges and objections is beyond the expertise of the Elections Committee and that these challenges and objections should be adjudicated and resolved as per the process outlined in UAW 2865’s bylaws, UAW Constitution and the UAW Election Guide.
Attached to this Report are a number of appendices. They include the official ballot tally and canvass that records the results without any findings on the challenges and objections. The specific challenges and objections as recorded when they were made are set forth below. Also attached is the inventory of all ballot material. This inventory was conducted on Thursday May 5, 2011, before counting resumed. The Elections Committee unanimously approved this report and its appendices via conference call on May 8, 2011.

13

8. Santa Barbara Elections Challenger Seong Hee "Sunny" Lim actively campaigned within

minutes at Orchard Family Housing at Davis on Wednesday, April 27th.

berated and harrassed voters throughout the voting period.
12. A concerted campaign of disinformation was employed by AWDU activists, including
false information about union staff income, student status, and eligibility,
which supressed voter turnout.

AWDU activists and challengers when the vote count was halted on Friday, April 29.
These led to Elections Committee members and USEJ Challengers having to flee the
room for their own safety.
19. USEJ Challenger Des Harmon was audio recorded without his consent, and pictures
were taken of ballots he challenged on Friday, April 29. When the person who was
recording and photographing him (Kyle Arnone, AWDU candidate for Trustee) was

homophobic slur when the vote count was halted on Friday, April 29.
21. Challenges to Berkeley boxes 1, 6, and 7 (as well as parts of box 16 and 17) were
essentially rendered void by Adam Hefty and Lizzie Mattiuzzi when they decided to
combine ballots from those boxes with ballots from non-challenged Berkeley boxes,
thus tainting the entire Berkeley vote with challenges that the Elections Committee as a

effort to influence the vote count process.
27. AWDU staged an "occupation" of the Statewide local union office in an attempt to
pressure the elections committee to make decisions on vote count procedures that
were beneficial to their side.
28. Public campaigning by Elections Committee members: Sara Smith (prior to resigning),
Nick Perrone (prior to resigning), Adam Hefty (throughout process)
29. Davis daily reports not submitted per protocol
30. No ballots returned or counted from Merced
31. At least one of the Elections Committee members, who has campaigned publicly for
one caucus, has been touching the ballots and all elections material: sending emails
15
urging union members to vote a particular way, sending emails of protest to the
election, discouraging candidates from participating in the current administration of the
Local
32. Intimidation of candidates prior to elections
33. Counting sheets not filled out at Berkeley or LA
34. No outer envelopes used at UCLA for several hours of voting
35. Davis housing polling station opened one hour late on 4/26

campaigning on behalf of one caucus
47. AWDU held caucus meetings at employer premises (IRLE Berkeley), to which other
caucus not invited
48. Chris Tilly, UCLA faculty, interfered in ballot counting process
49. One caucus, AWDU at Davis, advertised its caucus meeting to be at same time/location
as official union membership meeting, suggesting that AWDU was the same as the
Union
50. Berkeley challenges.
a. Box 1: discrepancy of 32 ballots between the poll worker's initial count and the
number found in the box.
b. Boxes 6 and 8: seal challenge (no signature over tape)
c. Box 13-18: USEJ does not acknowledge that Philippe sent a report for the 3rd day
d. Box 18: a USEJ candidate (Donna Fenton) asked the poll worker for a tally before
the poll had closed, and the poll worker gave an approximate number. The box
is being challenged because that number differs from that found in the box.
16
e. Box 2: 42 out 44 ballots had no envelopes. Also, there is a discrepancy of 65
ballots between the initial count and the number found in the box.
f. Box 8: There is a discrepancy of 26 between the initial count and what was found
in the box.
g. USEJ raised their challenge to all Berkeley boxes, due to ballots from at least one
challenged box being mixed in the other ballots during alphabetization on May
5th.
h. USEJ also raised the issue of the cancelled poll at University Village on 4/27,
which would be a global challenge.

Appendix IV. Spoiled Ballots Note: Due to the number and seriousness of the challenges and objections, the full Elections Committee (via conference call) decided on May 6, 2011 to count all of the ballots where voter intent was clear to all sides, including spoiled ballots and challenge ballots, as long as the ballot was not spoiled at the polling location. Below is the list of all ballots spoiled at the polling location. Campus Reason

- Empty cells are due to incomplete information. However, all campuses had enough information to perform at least one of two consistency checks. - The pre-mediation spoiled and challenge ballots on May 5 (K,L) may vary from the amount previously noted (H,I) because of changes in the status of ballots during the count (e.g. a secret ballot env. was opened and a spoiled ballot was found during the count). - UCLA boxes were only opened on May 5. - Santa Cruz ballot box summary form and campus tally sheet were lost, so each category of ballot was recounted on May 5. - Challenges counted here and inventoried on the next sheet do not account for whole box challenges at Berkeley (1,6,8,13-18). - Challenges counted here include 44 ballots (42 loose, 2 with envelopes) in UCLA box #2.
