The applicants requested an adjournment of the hearing to allow the Board to entertain a request for reconsideration of a prior decision that denied certain union locals standing to intervene.
The Board denied the adjournment, finding that no formal request for reconsideration had actually been filed, no extension of time had been granted, and any such request made at this late stage of the proceedings would be untimely.
The Board directed that the hearing on the merits proceed.
