ORDER
By decision dated July 24, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit enforced the Board’s July 29, 2011 Order1 to the
extent that it concluded that the Respondent violated the Act by its unlawful
surveillance of union activities and redefinition of its solicitation and distribution
policies. The court granted the petition for review, vacated the Board’s finding
that the Respondent violated the Act by disciplining and discharging employee
Beverly Griffith, and remanded the case to the Board to rehear the evidence and
correctly apply the appropriate legal standard with respect to that issue.
Accordingly, this case is remanded to Chief Administrative Law Judge Robert
Giannasi to appoint a new administrative law judge for the limited purpose of
rehearing the evidence and correctly applying the appropriate standard on that
issue.
Dated, Washington, D.C., May 19, 2016.
By direction of the Board:
