Enforcement Rules of Labor Union Act Article 10

When accepting the registration application from the preparatory committee of a labor union, the competent authority shall number all the applications for registration according the order of their receipt. It shall record the receiving time by minute. When two or more labor union preparatory committees are set up in the same enterprise or for the same profession and apply for registration certificates according to Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2 of Article 11 of the Act, the competent authority shall accept the applications and issue the registration certificates in accordance with the filing sequence of the applications. When such applications are filed at the same time and the registration requirements are also met, the order of issuance shall be determined by lot drawing to be carried out by representatives from the labor union preparatory committees applying for registration certificates. When different competent authorities accept the same applications filed as described in the preceding paragraph and the corresponding registration requirements are met, the competent authority receiving the applications first shall process the registration applications. If the sequence cannot be determined, the central competent authority shall appoint one of such competent authorities to conduct the lot drawing. The competent authority appointed as stated in the preceding paragraph shall inform the labor union preparatory committees filing the applications as well as other competent authorities receiving the same applications of the time and location of the lot drawing and the lot drawing shall be carried out by representatives from the said preparatory committees.
