the Respondent of an obligation to bargain for an initial agreement. Having duly considered
the matter,
IT IS ORDERED that the above-entitled proceeding be transferred to and continued
before the Board in Washington, D.C., and the hearing scheduled for November 18, 2019 be
postponed indefinitely.

should not be granted must do so in writing, filed with the Board in Washington, D.C., on or
before December 11, 2019 (with affidavit of service on the parties to this proceeding). If a
response to this Notice to Show Cause is filed, a party may file a reply to the response within
7 days of receipt of the response (with affidavit of service on the parties to this proceeding),
