Notice of a proposed change must be given to an official of the union who has the authority to act on behalf of the organization. The knowledge of one or even several members of the bargaining unit, who lack authority to act in an official capacity, will not be imputed to the organization. Therefore, notice of a proposed change will not be imputed to a union solely on the basis that the employer notified an employee was a member of the union.
