SIGNATURE BREADS, INC.
Employer
and Case 01-RC-111773
UNITED FOOD AND COMMERCIAL WORKERS
INTERNATIONAL UNION, LOCAL 1445, AFL-CIO
Petitioner
SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER
On October 31, 2013, the Associate Executive Secretary, by direction of the Board,
issued an Order granting the Employer’s Request for Special Permission to Appeal, and Appeal
From, the Regional Director’s Determination to Re-Schedule Election on October 31, 2013. The
Employer contended that the Regional Director had abused his discretion by rescheduling a
postponed election for October 31, 2013, the day before the Employer was to permanently lay
off 27 employees. By a 3-2 vote, the Board denied the appeal on the merits. The Order stated
that a decision would follow.
On October 31, 2013, the election was held. The tally of ballots shows 60 for and 92
against the Petitioner, with 1 void ballot and 2 challenged ballots, a number insufficient to affect
the results.1
In view of these developments, the Employer’s appeal is moot and no further decision
will be issued by the Board.
Dated, Washington, D.C., March 4, 2014.
By direction of the Board:

Gary Shinners
Executive Secretary

1 The Petitioner has filed objections to the election, which are currently pending before the Region.
