Jan. 30, 2018) Copy Citation UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD COVANTA ESSEX CO. Employer and Case 22-RD-199469 GEORGE BANCI Petitioner and INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING ENGINEERS, AFL-CIO, LOCAL 68 Union ORDER The Employer’s Request for Review of the Regional Director’s determination to dismiss the petition subject to reinstatement is denied as it raises no substantial issues warranting review.1 MARVIN E. KAPLAN, CHAIRMAN MARK GASTON PEARCE, MEMBER WILLIAM J. EMANUEL, MEMBER Dated, Washington, D.C., January 30, 2018. 1 Chairman Kaplan agrees with the decision to deny review here. He notes, however, that consistent with the Employer’s suggestion, he would consider revisiting the Board’s blocking charge policy in a future appropriate case. Member Emanuel agrees that the determination to dismiss the petition subject to reinstatement in this case was permissible under the Board’s current blocking-charge policy, but he believes that the policy should be reconsidered. Specifically, he believes that an employee’s petition for an election should generally not be dismissed or held in abeyance based on contested and unproven allegations of unfair labor practices.
