Item 5. Other Events
On March 25, 1997, the Company issued the following press release:
"PECO NUCLEAR EMPLOYEES VOTE `NO UNION' BY A WIDE MARGIN
PECO Nuclear employees voted not to be represented by a union in balloting
conducted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on Monday.
Employees cast 695 votes for `no union;' 228 votes for the Utility Workers Union
of America (UWUA).
`We are thankful that PECO Nuclear employees overwhelmingly voted to reject
union representation,' said Corbin A. McNeill, Jr., president and chief
executive officer. `It is obvious that our employees, after they heard both
sides, realized that it is in all of our best interests to remain union free to
meet the competitive challenges in our ever-changing industry.'
The results are not official until the NLRB certifies the election. All parties
involved in the election have seven days to contest the results."
