Department of Justice v. Federal Labor Relations Authority

TATEL, Circuit Judge:

On remand from this court’s decision in U.S. Department of Justice v. FLRA, 39 F.3d 361 (D.C.Cir.1994), the Federal Labor Relations Authority found that a government employer committed an unfair labor practice by refusing to provide documents requested by a union representing an employee in a disciplinary action. Because the Authority properly concluded both that the union sought the documents in its capacity as exclusive representative and that the union needed the documents to assist the employee, we deny the employer’s petition for review.
