SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Labor Relations Board will hold
an open public meeting on Monday, July 18, 2011, from 9 a.m. until 4
p.m. A second day of meetings may be scheduled for Tuesday, July 19,
2011, if necessary. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the purpose of the
meeting will be to allow interested persons to participate in the
rulemaking through oral presentation on the proposed amendments to the
Board's rules governing representation-case procedures and to make any
other proposals for improving representation case procedures.
On June 22, 2011, the NLRB published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) (76 FR 15307), proposing to amend its rules and
regulations governing the filing and processing of petitions relating
to the representation of employees for purposes of collective
bargaining with their employer. In addition to the comment procedure
outlined in the NPRM, the NLRB is providing another opportunity for
interested persons to provide their views to the Board on this
important matter at the open public meeting.
Persons desiring to attend the meeting must notify the NLRB staff,
in writing, at the above listed physical or e-mail address, by the
deadline posted. If the person desires to make a presentation to the
Board at the meeting, he or she is required to submit a brief outline
of the presentation when making the request. In lieu of making an oral
presentation, or in addition to such a presentation, interested persons
may submit a written statement for the record or utilize the comment
process described in the NPRM.
To attend the meeting, all potential attendees must include in
their request: (1) Their full name, (2) organizational affiliation (if
any), and (3), if they are appearing in a representative capacity, the
names of any individuals or organizations on whose behalf they are
appearing. Attendees are reminded to bring a photo identification card
with them to the public meeting in order to gain admittance to the
building. Due to the time and potential space limitations in the
meeting room, the NLRB will notify persons of their attendance and/or
speaking status (i.e., preliminary date and time for their
presentation) prior to the meeting. Time allocation for oral
presentations will depend upon the number of persons who desire to make
presentations to the Board. Persons making oral presentations should be
prepared to summarize their written statements, if any, at the meeting.
In the event that there are more requests for oral presentations than
there are available time slots, the Board will allocate the available
time slots in an effort to insure that a variety of viewpoints are
represented at the hearing and that both individuals and organizations
possessing substantial experience with and expertise concerning the
Board's representation case procedures and members of the general
public are heard. Subject to such allocations, available time slots
will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis.
Agenda: The meeting will be limited to issues related to the
proposed amendments to the Board's rules governing representation-case
procedures and other proposals for improving representation case
procedures. A copy of the NPRM may also be obtained from the NLRB's Web
site at: http://www.nlrb.gov/nprm.
Dated: June 21, 2011.
Wilma B. Liebman,
Chairman.
