Before: SAMUEL A. CHAITOVITZ Chief Administrative Law Judge
This case was initiated by an unfair labor practice charge
filed on June 10, 1998, by the American Federation of Government
Employees, Local 3475 (AFGE Local 3475), alleging a violation of
section 7116(a)(1), (5) and (8) of the Federal Service
Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute), by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Louisiana State
Office, New Orleans, Louisiana (HUD). A Complaint and Notice of
Hearing was issued on September 30, 1998, and was later amended,
alleging that HUD failed to supply requested information and to
properly respond to the request for information.
A hearing was held on December 16, 1998, in New Orleans
Louisiana. At the close of the hearing the General Counsel of the
FLRA moved to remand the Complaint to the Dallas Regional Office of
the FLRA for disposition based on the parties settlement agreement.
All parties executed the settlement agreement and joined in the
motion to remand the case. The settlement agreement, as represented
by the parties, appears to the undersigned to effectuate the
purposes and policies of the Federal Service Labor-Management
Relations Statute. Accordingly, remanding this matter to the Dallas
Regional Office of the FLRA for disposition is appropriate. It is
therefore,
Pursuant to section 2423.31(l) of the Rules and Regulations of the FLRA, 5 C.F.R. § 2423.31(l), that this matter is hereby REMANDED to the Regional Director of the Dallas Regional Office of the FLRA for further action consistent herewith.
Issued, Washington, DC, December 18, 1998.
