of the Act and Section 102.31(b) of the Board’s Rules and Regulations. See Postal

the case name and numbers, is deficient on its face because it fails to state with
sufficient particularity the evidence being sought. Nevertheless, the Region has
described with sufficient particularity the evidence sought from Union steward Charles
Ledbetter. The record establishes that the Region (1) attached to the subpoena a copy
of the two charges upon which the subpoena is based (the charge in case 08-CB-
190652 and amended charge in case 08-CA-190649), and (2) attached to the subpoena
a statement identifying the allegations that will be the focus of the testimony it seeks.
