CYNTHIA REEVES Case 15-RD-257239
Petitioner
and
UNITED STEELWORKERS LOCAL 607L, AFL-CIO-CLC
Union
ORDER
The Employer’s Request for Review of the Regional Director’s determination to dismiss
the instant petition is denied as it raises no substantial issues warranting reversal of the Regional
Director’s action.1 See NLRB Casehandling Manual (Part Two) Representation Proceedings, Sec.
11730.3(a). Because the petition is subject to reinstatement, if appropriate, after final disposition
of the unfair labor practice proceedings, the Petitioner is made a party-in-interest to Consolidated
Cases 15-CA-257527, 15-CA-257537, 15-CA-257545, 15-CA-257553, and 15-CA-260411 solely
for the purpose of receiving notification of the final outcome of those cases. See generally NLRB
Casehandling Manual Part Two, Section 11733.2(b).

1 In denying review, we observe that the Board recently adopted changes to the blocking-charge
policy. See 85 Fed. Reg. 18366 (Apr. 1, 2020). We observe that those changes address many of
the concerns articulated by the Employer with regard to the processing of this case. Those
amendments were not effective until July 31, 2020, however. 85 Fed. Reg. 20156 (Apr. 10,
2020). Accordingly, they do not apply to petitions filed prior to that date, as is the case here.
See Arakelian Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a Athens Services, Case 31-RD-223309, rev. denied 9/22/20.
