ORDER CORRECTING
The Union’s petition to revoke subpoena duces tecum B-1-T6NDHN is denied.
The subpoena seeks information relevant to the matters under investigation and
describes with sufficient particularity the evidence sought, as required by Section 11(1)
of the Act and Section 102.31(b) of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.1 Further, the
Union has failed to establish any other legal basis for revoking the subpoena. See
generally NLRB v. North Bay Plumbing, Inc., 102 F.3d 1005 (9th Cir. 1996); NLRB v.
Carolina Food Processors, Inc., 81 F.3d 507 (4th Cir. 1996).
Dated, Washington, D.C., January 3, 2017.

1 In considering the petition to revoke, we have evaluated the subpoena as clarified by
the Region in its opposition brief. Specifically, the Region states that it does not seek
“personal identification information such as Social Security numbers, bank account
information, financial information, or certain medical information that may be included on
requested documents,” and that it is willing to work with the Union to redact this
information from the documents. If after such redactions the Union still has legitimate
privacy concerns as to specific information or documents, it is free to identify the
information or documents and seek a confidentiality agreement from the Region.
