Announcement of administrative determinations or Board decisions and orders, as
appropriate:
A few cases were filed with the Board by private individuals
against private employers.
All of these matters were
dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction, lack of proper
service, and failure to
state a claim under Board
regulations. On one of
these matters, it was clear
that the petitioner should
have filed his claim with a
different state agency.
At the guidance of Assistant
Attorney General, Joe
Pokempner, and the Attorney
General's office as a whole,
Executive Director issued a
letter to the petitioner
indicating that his claim
would be more properly filed
with the other agency.
The Executive Director did
not make any statements as
to the merits of the
petitioners case. It
was advised that a state
agency has a certain duty to
members of the general
public to provide
information, and in
particular, if another
agency is
better suited to working
with that member of the
public on a matter, that
member of the public should
be so advised.
