The intervenor union (SEIU) requested reconsideration of a Board decision that dismissed its objection to a displacement application filed by the applicant union (CAW).
The SEIU argued that the CAW failed to deliver a required form (Form A-3) and inaccurately certified its delivery, and that the Board erred by not holding a hearing on the issue.
The Board denied the request for reconsideration, finding that a hearing was unnecessary because there were no facts in dispute and the parties had filed written submissions.
The Board also held that it had the discretion to relieve against the strict application of its Rules, and properly did so because the SEIU suffered no prejudice from the CAW's procedural failure.
