The decision of the Authority follows:
20 FLRA No. 67 HEADQUARTERS, MILITARY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT COMMAND Activity and AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, LOCAL 1157, AFL-CIO Union Case Nos. 0-NG-1174 ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR REVIEW This case is before the Authority pursuant to section 7105(a)(2)(E) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute and section 2424.1 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations on a petition for review of negotiability issues filed by the Union. For the reasons indicated below, it has been determined that the Union's petition for review must be dismissed. By Authority letter dated October 9, 1985, the Union was informed that processing of its negotiability appeal by the Authority was contingent upon compliance with Parts 2424 and 2429 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The letter recited that the Union had been contacted by telephone on two earlier occasions concerning the nature of, and the need to correct certain procedural deficiencies in its appeal. Although the Union had been afforded time in which to comply with the Authority's rules of procedure and to complete its petition for review, the Union had taken no action to remedy the deficiencies in its appeal as of the date of the letter. As was noted in the Authority's letter, the Union's appeal failed to comply with sections 2424.4(a)(1), (2), (3), (4), and 2424.4(b) of the Regulations. The Union was informed of the specific actions it had to take to so comply and to complete its appeal, and was granted 13 days in which to do so. The Union was advised that further processing of its petition for review was contingent upon compliance with the cited provisions of the Authority's rules of procedure and was put on notice that failure to comply within the time limit provided could result in dismissal of the exception. The Union has made no submission within the time limit provided. Accordingly, and apart from other considerations, the Union's application for review is hereby dismissed for failure to comply with the Authority's rules of procedure. For the Authority. Issued, Washington, D.C., October 29, 1985 Harold D. Kessler Managing Director for Case Processing
