Veterans Administration, Washington, D.C. and VA Medical Center, Salem, Virginia and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1739 (Authority decision, January 30, 1990)

Final FLRA decision. This is a final order dismissing an unfair-labor-practice complaint at the charging union's request. An aggrieved person may seek judicial review by filing a petition in an appropriate United States court of appeals within 60 days after issuance under 5 U.S.C. § 7123(a). Filing a petition does not stay the Authority's order unless the court orders a stay under 5 U.S.C. § 7123(c).

Plain-English summary

The union sought the names and home addresses of bargaining unit employees from the Veterans Administration and its Salem medical center. The agency told the Authority that it had supplied the final lists. The union then requested dismissal because it had received the information. With no objection, the Authority dismissed the complaint. The order did not decide a contested unfair labor practice issue.

Decision snapshot

• Authority: Stipulated unfair labor practice proceeding under 5 C.F.R. § 2429.1(a).
• Outcome: Complaint dismissed at the union's request after the agency supplied the requested lists.
• Key point: The parties reported compliance, so the Authority closed the case without a merits ruling.

This unfair labor practice case is before the Authority in

accordance with section 2429.1(a) of the Authority's Rules and

Regulations, based on a stipulation of facts by the parties, who

have agreed that no material issues of fact exist.

On March 14, 1989, the Respondents, Veterans Administration,

Washington, D.C. and Veterans Administration Medical Center,

Salem, Virginia, served a notification of compliance in this case

on the Charging Party, American Federation of Government

Employees, Local 1739, AFL - CIO and the Authority. In that

letter, the Respondents provided notice that they would furnish

the Charging Party with the names and home addresses of

bargaining unit employees.

By letter dated June 23, 1989, the Acting Executive Director

requested the parties to advise the Authority of the status of

this matter. The Respondents replied by letter of June 29,

1989, stating that the "last of the name and address lists" had

been provided to the Charging Party on April 18, 1989.

The Charging Party, now requests that the case be dismissed
