Case Nos. 0-NG-1174
ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR REVIEW
This case is before the Authority pursuant to section 7105(a)(2)(E)
of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute and section
2424.1 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations on a petition for review
of negotiability issues filed by the Union. For the reasons indicated
below, it has been determined that the Union's petition for review must
be dismissed.
By Authority letter dated October 9, 1985, the Union was informed
that processing of its negotiability appeal by the Authority was
contingent upon compliance with Parts 2424 and 2429 of the Authority's
Rules and Regulations. The letter recited that the Union had been
contacted by telephone on two earlier occasions concerning the nature
of, and the need to correct certain procedural deficiencies in its
appeal. Although the Union had been afforded time in which to comply
with the Authority's rules of procedure and to complete its petition for
review, the Union had taken no action to remedy the deficiencies in its
appeal as of the date of the letter.
As was noted in the Authority's letter, the Union's appeal failed to
comply with sections 2424.4(a)(1), (2), (3), (4), and 2424.4(b) of the
Regulations. The Union was informed of the specific actions it had to
take to so comply and to complete its appeal, and was granted 13 days in
which to do so. The Union was advised that further processing of its
petition for review was contingent upon compliance with the cited
provisions of the Authority's rules of procedure and was put on notice
that failure to comply within the time limit provided could result in
dismissal of the exception.
The Union has made no submission within the time limit provided.
Accordingly, and apart from other considerations, the Union's
application for review is hereby dismissed for failure to comply with
the Authority's rules of procedure.
For the Authority.
