and Case 20-RC- 18286
OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES

Petitioner
CORRECTED ORDER
On March 25, 2010, the two sitting members of the Board issued an Order
granting review in part and denying review in all other respects in this proceeding. On
June 17, 2010, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision 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. The Board has carefully considered the Employer's March 15,
2010, Request for Review of the Regional Director's Decision and Direction of Election
and finds it raises substantial issues warranting review solely with respect to the
exclusion of employees from the veterinary, AAGSO, breeding, kennel, and puppy-
raising departments. Accordingly, we affirm the decision to grant the earlier Request for
Review with respect to those issues, and affirm the decision to deny the Request for
Review in all other respects.
