PPG Industries (Commission decision, October 24, 1979)

Plain-English summary

A single-sentence order. PPG had taken an interlocutory appeal, meaning it asked the Commission to review a ruling before the administrative law judge finished the case. The Commission dismisses the appeal and sends the case back to the judge to continue.

The order gives no reasons, does not identify the ruling appealed from, and decides nothing about the merits. The employees are represented in the proceeding by the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers.

Decision snapshot

• Cited standard(s): None identified in this order.
• Outcome: Remanded. The interlocutory appeal is dismissed and the case returns to the administrative law judge.
• Key point: An interlocutory appeal that the Commission declines to entertain leaves the underlying proceeding where it was, before the judge.
