ORDER1
The Employer’s petition to revoke the subpoena duces tecum B-611769 is
denied. The subpoena seeks information relevant to the matter under investigation and
describes with sufficient particularity the evidence sought, as required by Section 11(1)
of the Act and Section 102.31(b) of the Board’s Rules and Regulations. Further, the
Employer has failed to establish any other legal basis for revoking the subpoena. See
generally NLRB v. North Bay Plumbing, Inc., 102 F.3d 1005 (9th Cir. 1996); NLRB v.
Carolina Food Processors, Inc., 81 F.3d 507 (4th Cir. 1996).2
Dated, Washington, D.C., May 17, 2012.

1 The National Labor Relations Board has delegated its authority in this proceeding to a
three-member panel.
2 In considering the petition to revoke, we have evaluated the subpoena as modified by
the Region in its April 6, 2012 letter to the Employer, and reiterated in its opposition to
the petition to revoke, in which the Region requested documents reflecting telephone
numbers for 20 specific, named employees.
