The complainant requested reconsideration of a previous Board decision that found the union breached its duty of fair representation.
The complainant sought costs, an order that the Board arbitrate the grievance itself or direct it to arbitration, the right to retain independent counsel at the union's expense, and for the Board to remain seized of the matter.
The Board dismissed the request for reconsideration, finding no extraordinary circumstances to award costs, noting the union membership had already voted to refer the grievance to arbitration, and finding no basis to assume the union would not properly represent the complainant at arbitration.
