ORDER GRANTING MOTIONS
On July 27, 2011, the Employers and the Intervenor filed Motions to
Remand this case to the Regional Director for the scheduling of a new election.
The Motions state that the Employers and the Intervenor will not file exceptions
to Administrative Law Judge Lana Parke’s Report and Recommendations on
Objections; they waive their rights to a decision by the Board on the objections
filed by the Petitioner; and they agree to the setting aside of the election held in
this case and proceeding to a second election. The Petitioner filed an Opposition
to the Motions to Remand.
Having duly considered the matter, the Board grants the Motions to
Remand.1 Accordingly, this case is remanded to the Regional Director for
Region 32 for further appropriate action, including the scheduling of a new
election. In view of this remand, any exceptions filed by the parties to the
Administrative Law Judge’s Report are moot, and will not be considered by the
Board.

1 Member Becker is recused and did not participate in the consideration of the
Motions to Remand.
