PERB Regulation 32136 authorizes the Board to excuse a late filing upon a showing of good cause. Because parties to an unfair practice charge have a duty to carefully review all documents filed in connection with their case, the charging party’s alleged late discovery of statements contained in a dismissal letter is insufficient to warrant a finding of good cause to excuse the late filing.
