The Board granted the Union’s request for special permission to appeal the Administrative Law Judge’s order finding that no additional evidence need be taken in response to the Board’s remand of this proceeding to him and denied the appeal on the merits.

The Board stated that the Order is without prejudice to the Union’s raising on exceptions, if appropriate, its argument that it should have been permitted to develop record evidence regarding the other matters described in its February 9, 2015 offer of proof submitted to the judge. Charge filed by Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO. Members Miscimarra, Hirozawa, and Johnson participated.
