Section 560IAC2-2-4. Intervenors

   (a) Limitation on intervenors. No school employee organization shall be permitted to intervene in any certification or decertification proceeding unless it has submitted a showing of interest of not less than twenty percent (20%) in an appropriate unit. Such showing of interest need not accompany the petition to intervene but must be made at the representation and determination of unit hearing or within such extension of time as the hearing officer may allow, but in no case may it be made after the board directs the conduct of an election.

  (b) School employee complaint procedure. Any school employee may file a complaint with regard to the composition of a proposed unit. Such complaint shall be filed within the 30-day posting of notice of amendment or clarification under 560 IAC 2-2-1(c) [section 1(c) of this rule] or intent to recognize under 560 IAC 2-2-2 [section 2 of this rule] or within the time limitation of posting notice of pending petition in 560 IAC 2-2-3(h) [section 3(h) of this rule].

  (c) Filing procedure for intervenor. A school employee or school employee organization intervening in any representation proceeding shall file a petition to intervene within the period of posting of notice of a pending representation petition as provided in 560 IAC 2-2-3(h) [section 3(h) of this rule], unless good cause is shown for extending the period.
