ORDER
The Union’s request for special permission to appeal from Administrative Law
Judge Paul Bogas’s Order finding that no additional evidence need be taken in
response to the Board’s remand of this proceeding to him is granted.1 The appeal is
denied on the merits. In light of the Respondent’s representation that it will not contend
that any special circumstances, as defined in the Board’s Decision cited below, exist to
justify its electronic communications policy, the judge reasonably determined that no
additional evidence on this issue need be presented. This Order is without prejudice to
the Union’s raising on exceptions, if appropriate, its argument that it should have been
permitted to develop record evidence regarding the other matters described in its
February 9, 2015 offer of proof submitted to the judge.
Dated, Washington, D.C., March 4, 2015.
