During a hearing regarding allegations of bad faith bargaining, the company's counsel sought to use a court reporter to record the proceedings.
The union objected, arguing it diminished the Board's control and prejudiced the union.
The Board ruled that the company could use a court reporter, but the transcript would not be the official record.
The Board further ordered that if the company's counsel intended to refer to the transcript during the hearing, they must notify the other parties and provide copies to the union and the Board at the union's and company's respective expenses.
