Description
In April 1982 American Commercial Barge Line Co. ("ACBL") filed a Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") request with the NLRB. The request sought copies of all statements, advice memoranda, and position letters filed by the Seafarers International Union or the Seafarers Appeals Board in connection with an unfair labor practice charge lodged by ACBL against the union. The unfair labor practice charge had been dismissed in February 1982. ACBLs request was denied by the NLRB Regional Director, who relied on guidelines issued by the General Counsel that provided that for Freedom of Information Act purposes information in a closed case file should be treated as though it were an open proceeding during a six-month buffer period after the case was closed. ACBL appealed this decision to the General Counsel of the NLRB. In its appeal letter, ACBL stated that "any temporary delay in the furnishing of this information will prejudice our defense in a matter presently before an administrative law judge, scheduled to resume on may 4, 1982," referring to a proceeding in an unfair labor practice charge brought by the union against ACBL. The General Counsels office denied ACBLs appeal.
