Rochester s office is approximately 25 miles from the campus. The petition submitted contained 116 signatures. CSEA's President responded directly to Rochester stating that the petition would not be released and requesting that Rochester agree to the overlap. No response was received from Rochester. Rochester appealed the Region I Director's decision granting the overlap on August 12, 1994.
General policy requires that every reasonable effort be made to avoid an overlap.
Ideally, a group of persons should be included in the field of membership of only one credit union. Officials of credit unions should attempt to work out the overlap problem themselves. When resolution of an overlap problem is not possible, an overlap can be justified by certain circumstances and may be permitted by the Regional Director. Proximity of a group to a credit union does not, by itself, justify an overlap. CSEA and Brockport contacted Rochester in an attempt to resolve the overlap situation.
