After notice of the petitions was

required by Section 221 of the Act (19

investigations of these petitions.

filed in accordance with the 

requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every 

petition filed by workers must be signed 

by at least three individuals of the 

petitioning worker group. Petitioners 

separated more than one year prior to 

the date of the petition cannot be 

covered under a certification of a 

petition under Section 223(b), and 

therefore, may not be part of a 

petitioning worker group. For one or 

more of these reasons, these petitions 

were deemed invalid.
