1108.01000 – In General
To investigate a claim that some bargaining unit members did not receive a Notice sent by e-mail, Office of the General Counsel issued an Order to Show Cause to determine whether there was a material factual dispute that necessitated an evidentiary hearing. Office of the General Counsel directed the charging party to provide declarations based on personal knowledge under penalty of perjury showing that any bargaining unit member did not receive the e-mail Notice. The charging party declined to provide such declarations, citing concerns that the declarants would face retaliation from the employer. In the absence of any countervailing evidence, Office of the General Counsel correctly relied on the employer’s unrebutted evidence to conclude that it had e-mailed the Notice to all bargaining unit members, thereby complying with the Board’s electronic notice posting order.
