Jan. 19, 2018) Copy Citation UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD G.F. PATERSON FOODS, LLC Employer and Case 22-RD-210352 UNITED FOOD & COMMERCIAL WORKERS UNION, LOCAL 464-A Union and ELLIOTI TAPIA Petitioner ORDER The Petitioner’s Request for Review of the Regional Director’s determination to hold the petition in abeyance is denied as it raises no substantial issues warranting review.1 MARVIN E. KAPLAN, CHAIRMAN MARK GASTON PEARCE, MEMBER WILLIAM J. EMANUEL, MEMBER Dated, Washington, D.C., January 19, 2018. 1 Chairman Kaplan agrees with the decision to deny review here. He notes, however, that, consistent with the Petitioner’s suggestion, he would consider revisiting the Board’s blocking charge policy in a future appropriate case. Member Emanuel agrees that the determination to hold the petition in abeyance in this case was permissible under the Board’s current blocking- charge policy, but he believes that the policy should be reconsidered. Specifically, he believes that an employee’s petition for an election should generally not be dismissed or held in abeyance based on contested and unproven allegations of unfair labor practices.
