The respondent employer requested reconsideration of a Board decision certifying the applicant union, arguing it did not receive timely notice of the application and thus failed to post notices to employees.
The Board found that the employer had in fact received the notice in a timely manner but failed to open its mail or post the notices promptly.
The Board held that the employer could not rely on its own failure to post notices or file a timely reply to support its request for reconsideration, nor could it invoke the rights of employees who had not themselves complained of insufficient notice.
The request for reconsideration was dismissed.
