Subject to the approval of the Regional Director for the National Labor Relations Board, the Charged Party and
the Charging Party HEREBY AGREE TO SETTLE THE ABOVE MATTER AS FOLLOWS:
TRANSMISSION OF NOTICE TO AFFILIATED LOCALS - After the Regional Director has approved
this Agreement, the Regional Office will send copies of the approved Notice to the Charged Party. A
responsible official of the Charged Party will then sign and date those Notices. The Charged Party will
transmit a copy of the signed Notice to each of its affiliated local unions and will include an accompanying
request that those affiliated locals distribute copies of the Notice to their members in the same manner as
other notifications to members are dispersed.
INTRANET POSTING - The Charged Party will also post a copy of the Notice in English and in additional
languages if the Regional Director decides that it is appropriate to do so, on its intranet at www.SPFPA.org and
keep it continuously posted there for 60 consecutive days from the date it was originally posted. The Charged
Party will send an e-mail to the Region’s Compliance Officer when it submits the Certification of Posting and
provide a password for a password protected intranet site in the event it is necessary to check the electronic
posting.
NON-ADMISSIONS CLAUSE – By entering into this Agreement, the Charged Party does not admit to
violating any section of the National Labor Relations Act.
COMPLIANCE WITH NOTICE — The Charged Party will comply with all the terms and provisions of said
Notice.
SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT — This Agreement settles only the allegations in the above-captioned case,
and does not settle any other case(s) or matters. It does not prevent persons from filing charges, the General
Counsel from prosecuting complaints, or the Board and the courts from finding violations with respect to
matters that happened before this Agreement was approved regardless of whether General Counsel knew of
those matters or could have easily found them out. The General Counsel reserves the right to use the evidence
obtained in the investigation and prosecution of the above-captioned case for any relevant purpose in the
litigation of this or any other case, and a judge, the Board and the courts may make findings of fact and/or
conclusions of law with respect to that evidence. By approving this Agreement, the Regional Director
withdraws any Complaint and Notice of Hearing previously issued in the above case, and the Charged Party
withdraws any answer(s) filed in response.
PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT — If the Charging Party fails or refuses to become a party to this
Agreement and the Regional Director determines that it will promote the policies of the National Labor
Relations Act, the Regional Director may approve the settlement agreement and decline to issue or reissue a
Complaint in this matter. If that occurs, this Agreement shall be between the Charged Party and the
undersigned Regional Director. In that case, a Charging Party may request review of the decision to approve
the Agreement. If the General Counsel does not sustain the Regional Director's approval, this Agreement shall
be null and void.
AUTHORIZATION TO PROVIDE COMPLIANCE INFORMATION AND NOTICES DIRECTLY TO
CHARGED PARTY — Counsel for the Charged Party authorizes the Regional Office to forward the cover
letter describing the general expectations and instructions to achieve compliance, a conformed settlement, original notices and a certification of posting directly to the Charged Party. If such authorization is granted,
Counsel will be simultaneously served with a courtesy copy of these documents.
PERFORMANCE — Performance by the Charged Party with the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
commence immediately after the Agreement is approved by the Regional Director, or if the Charging Party does
not enter into this Agreement, performance shall commence immediately upon receipt by the Charged Party of
notice that no review has been requested or that the General Counsel has sustained the Regional Director.
The Charged Party agrees that in case of non-compliance with any of the terms of this Settlement Agreement by
the Charged Party, and after 14 days’ notice from the Regional Director of the National Labor Relations Board
of such non-compliance without remedy by the Charged Party, the Regional Director will reissue the complaint
previously issued on February 1, 2019 in the instant case. Thereafter, the General Counsel may file a motion
for default judgment with the Board on the allegations of the complaint. The Charged Party understands and
agrees that the allegations of the aforementioned complaint will be deemed admitted and its Answer to such
complaint will be considered withdrawn. The only issue that may be raised before the Board is whether the
Charged Party defaulted on the terms of this Settlement Agreement. The Board may then, without necessity of
trial or any other proceeding, find all allegations of the complaint to be true and make findings of fact and
conclusions of law consistent with those allegations adverse to the Charged Party on all issues raised by the
pleadings. The Board may then issue an order providing a full remedy for the violations found as is appropriate
to remedy such violations. The parties further agree that a U.S. Court of Appeals Judgment may be entered
enforcing the Board order ex parte, after service or attempted service upon Charged Party/Respondent at the last
address provided to the General Counsel.
NOTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE — Each party to this Agreement will notify the Regional Director in
writing what steps the Charged Party has taken to comply with the Agreement. This notification shall be given
within 5 days, and again after 60 days, from the date of the approval of this Agreement. If the Charging Party
does not enter into this Agreement, initial notice shall be given within 5 days after notification from the
Regional Director that the Charging Party did not request review or that the General Counsel sustained the
Regional Director’s approval of this agreement. No further action shall be taken in the above captioned case(s)
provided that the Charged Party complies with the terms and conditions of this Settlement Agreement and
