September 29, 2015
ORDER DENYING MOTION1
BY CHAIRMAN PEARCE AND MEMBERS MISCIMARRA
AND HIROZAWA
The General Counsel’s Motion for Summary Judgment
is denied. The General Counsel has failed to establish
that there are no genuine issues of material fact warrant-
ing a hearing and that he is entitled to judgment as a mat-
ter of law.2
1 The National Labor Relations Board has delegated its authority in
this proceeding to a three-member panel.
2 The General Counsel alleges that Respondent’s rule regarding the
“Interception of Oral or Wire Communications by Postal Employees”
violates Sec. 8(a)(1) of the Act. Member Miscimarra notes that, as the

Respondent contends in opposition of the General Counsel’s Motion
for Summary Judgment, certain precedents relied upon by the General
Counsel suggest the employer’s rationale(s) for adopting such a rule
may be material to the disposition of the allegations in this case, and
neither the record nor the rule itself provide evidence regarding any
such rationale(s). On this basis Member Miscimarra denies the motion.
