[U] Eechnical Employees Association v. Public Employment Relations Commission

The Technical Employees Association (TEA) sought to replace the incumbent unions for certain King County employees by filing five petitions with the Public Employees Relations Committee (PERC). PERC affirmed its Directors dismissal of the petitions on the grounds that TEA filed the petitions late. When TEA appealed to superior court it failed to serve the Teamsters who had participated in the administrative proceeding. We hold that this failure deprived the superior court of jurisdiction to consider TEAs petition for judicial review. We reverse.
