SUPPLEMENTAL DECISION AND ORDER
BY CHAIRMAN PEARCE AND MEMBERS MISCIMARRA
AND SCHIFFER
On July 16, 2013, in a Supplemental Decision and Or-
der reported at 359 NLRB 1527, the Board found that
Respondent Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, Inc.
(Fresh & Easy) is a successor to 2 Sisters Food Group,
Inc. (2 Sisters) under Golden State Bottling Co. v NLRB,
414 U.S. 168 (1973), and is liable to remedy 2 Sisters’
unfair labor practices found by the Board in 2 Sisters
Food Group, 357 NLRB 1816 (2011) (finding that 2
Sisters violated Sec. 8(a)(1) by maintaining certain work
rules and Sec. 8(a)(3) and (1) by discharging employee
Xonia Trespalacios). The Supplemental Decision also
rejected the Charging Party’s request for additional rem-
edies. On July 31, 2013, the Charging Party filed a mo-
tion for reconsideration of the Board’s rejection of its
request for additional remedies. That motion remains
pending.1
The National Labor Relations Board has delegated its
authority in this proceeding to a three-member panel.
Before we address the Charging Party’s motion for re-
consideration, we must first address the status of the
Supplemental Decision and Order reported at 359 NLRB
1527. At the time of the Supplemental Decision and
Order, the composition of the Board included two per-
sons whose appointments had been challenged as consti-
tutionally infirm. On June 26, 2014, the United States
Supreme Court issued its decision in NLRB v. Noel Can-
ning, 134 S.Ct. 2550 (2014), holding that the challenged
appointments to the Board were not valid. In view of
that decision, we vacate the Supplemental Decision and
Order reported at 359 NLRB 1527.
We have considered de novo the entire record in this
case, Administrative Law Judge Eleanor Laws’ Novem-
ber 21, 2012 supplemental decision, and the parties’ ex-
ceptions and briefs.2 Having done so, we affirm the
judge’s rulings, findings, and conclusions in this compli-
1 The Charging Party’s motion mistakenly refers to 2 Sisters as the
successor to Fresh & Easy. We address its request for additional reme-
dies as if the motion had named Fresh & Easy as the successor.
2 Fresh & Easy has requested oral argument. The request is denied
as the record, exceptions, and briefs adequately present the issues and
the positions of the parties.
ance proceeding only to the extent consistent with this
Supplemental Decision.
The parties stipulated, and the judge found, that Fresh
& Easy is a successor to 2 Sisters under Golden State
Bottling Co., supra, and as such is liable to remedy 2
Sisters’ unfair labor practices. Fresh & Easy excepted to
this finding, contending that the Region’s failure to al-
lege Fresh & Easy as a respondent in the unfair labor
practice proceeding denied it due process of law. The
judge rejected Fresh & Easy’s due process argument, and
we find her reasoning persuasive. Thus, for the reasons
stated by the judge, we find Fresh & Easy’s exceptions
without merit, and we adopt her finding and conclusion
that Fresh & Easy is jointly and severally liable to reme-
dy 2 Sisters’ unfair labor practices.
The judge also entertained the Charging Party Union’s
request for additional remedies and a broad cease-and-
desist order. She granted the Union’s request for a no-
tice-mailing remedy, denied the remainder of the re-
quested additional remedies, and denied the request for a
broad order. The judge then issued a revised Order that
differed in some respects from the Board’s Order in 357
NLRB 1816. However, the only issue properly before
the judge in this compliance proceeding was Fresh &
Easy’s claim that, notwithstanding its status as 2 Sisters’
Golden State successor, it was not liable to remedy 2
Sisters’ unfair labor practices. As we have found, the
judge correctly rejected that claim. Because it was raised
at the compliance stage of this proceeding, however, the
Charging Party’s request for additional remedies—which
sought to expand the Board’s underlying Order—was
untimely. See Wellstream Corp., 321 NLRB 455, 455
fn. 2 (1996). Accordingly, the Order the Board issued in
357 NLRB 1816 remains binding on 2 Sisters and is
binding on Fresh & Easy as 2 Sisters’ Golden State suc-
cessor.
We turn now to the Charging Party’s motion for recon-
sideration. The Charging Party again requests additional
remedies against Fresh & Easy. We deny the request for
the reasons stated above. The Charging Party also con-
tends that Fresh & Easy “is guilty of separate additional
conduct.” If that is so, the proper recourse would have
been to file an unfair labor practice charge. The Charg-
ing Party has not identified any material error or demon-
strated extraordinary circumstances warranting reconsid-
eration under Section 102.48(d)(1) of the Board’s Rules
and Regulations. Accordingly, its motion is denied.
