When an employer’s conduct is alleged to constitute a unilateral change or other bargaining violation simultaneously affecting more than one bargaining unit, the exclusive representative of each unit must bring its own timely charge on behalf of itself and the employees in its respective unit(s). In such circumstances, the Board’s usual practice is to limit any remedy to only the unit or units where the designated representative has successfully litigated the case. This approach is necessary to protect the rights of the respondent to notice of the allegations against it and to protect the rights of other employee organizations who may prefer to acquiesce to an employer’s conduct.
