 ented. Such employee organization shall be the sole and exclusive repre-
 sentative of such laborers, workmen or mechanics at any hearing pursuant
 to subdivision eight herein, and shall be the sole  complainant  in  the
 proceeding  for all purposes therein, including review pursuant to arti-
 cle seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules.   Service by  the
 fiscal  officer  on the employee organization shall be sufficient notice
 to the laborers, workmen or mechanics so represented for all purposes of
 subdivision eight herein, except that the issuance  and  enforcement  of
 subpoenas  shall  be  regulated by the civil practice law and rules. Any
 order, compromise, or settlement determining the issues raised upon such
 a proceeding, which has not been taken up for  review  by  the  employee
