On June 17, 2010, the United States Supreme Court issued its deci- sion in New Process Steel, L.P. v. NLRB, 130 S.Ct. 2635, holding that under Section 3(b) of the Act, in order to exercise the delegated authority of the Board, a delegee group of at least three members must be maintained. Thereafter, the court of appeals remanded this case for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court’s decision. The National Labor Relations Board has delegated its authority in this proceeding to a three-member panel.2 1 Effective midnight December 28, 2007, Members Liebman, Schaumber, Kirsanow, and Walsh delegated to Members Liebman, Schaumber, and Kirsanow, as a three-member group, all of the powers of the National Labor Relations Board in anticipation of the expiration of the terms of Members Kirsanow and Walsh on December 31, 2007.

As a result, we amend the prior decision by eliminating the second paragraph of fn. 2 (above at 921), eliminating fn. 6 (above at 921), eliminating the first paragraph of fn. 8 (above at 922), and by revising the final paragraph of the decision (id., second paragraph) to read as follows: “Finally, because further findings that the Re- spondent violated Section 8(a)(1) would not materi- ally change the remedy in this case and are not nec- essary to our conclusion that a second election is necessary, we decline to pass on the remaining ex- ceptions filed by the General Counsel and the Charg- ing Party.8 Based on the violations and objection- able conduct that we have found, we agree with the judge’s recommendation to set aside the election re- sults for the reasons he stated.” nal decision. Furthermore, under the Board’s standard procedures applicable to all cases assigned to a panel, the Board Members not assigned to the panel had the opportunity to participate in the adjudica- tion of this case at any time up to the issuance of this decision. 3 We find it unnecessary to rely on Desert Springs Hospital Center, 352 NLRB 112 (2008), as cited at 921 fn. 7 of the decision. Member Hayes finds no need to pass on the issue raised by the Respondent’s exceptions to the finding of an unlawful interrogation by Supervisor Steven Salvey.
