Sec. 2422.8  Intervention and cross-petitions.

    (a) Cross-petitions. A cross-petition is a petition which involves 
any employees in a unit covered by a pending representation petition. 
Cross-petitions must be filed in accordance with this subpart.
    (b) Intervention requests and cross-petitions. A request to 
intervene and a cross-petition, accompanied by any necessary showing of 
interest, must be submitted in writing and filed with either the 
Regional Director or the Hearing Officer before the hearing opens, 
unless good cause is shown for granting an extension. If no hearing is 
held, a request to intervene and a cross-petition must be filed prior to 
action being taken pursuant to Sec. 2422.30.
    (c) Labor organization intervention requests. Except for incumbent 
intervenors, a labor organization seeking to intervene shall submit a 
statement that it has complied with 5 U.S.C. 7111(e) and one of the 
following:
    (1) A showing of interest of ten percent (10%) or more of the 
employees in the unit covered by a petition seeking an election, with an 
alphabetical list of the names of the employees constituting the showing 
of interest; or
    (2) A current or recently expired collective bargaining agreement 
covering any of the employees in the unit affected by issues raised in 
the petition; or
    (3) Evidence that it is or was, prior to a reorganization, the 
recognized or certified exclusive representative of any of the employees 
affected by issues raised in the petition.
    (d) Incumbent. An incumbent exclusive representative, without regard 
to the requirements of paragraph (c) of this section, will be considered 
a party in any representation proceeding raising issues that affect 
employees the incumbent represents, unless it serves the Regional 
Director with a written disclaimer of any representation interest in the 
claimed unit.
