In litigation before the NLRB, obtained dismissal of an unfair labor practice charge which enabled a decertification election to proceed in timely manner. The Communication Workers of America Union filed a blocking charge with the NLRB in an attempt to thwart a decertification petition. By successfully refuting the union’s position at hearing that the petition was barred by an automatic extension of the parties’ collective bargaining agreement, the NLRB dismissed the Union’s charge which allowed the decertification election to continue and gave employees the right to vote regarding union representation.
