TRADER JOE'S EAST

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

DIVISION OF JUDGES

TRADER JOE’S EAST INC. and Case 09-CA-312856

TRADER JOE’S UNITED

ORDER

On August 12, 2025, the Respondent filed a motion for reconsideration of my July 15,

2025 Order denying the Respondent special permission to appeal Administrative Law Judge

Sarah Karpinen’s admission of General Counsel Exhibit 8 to the record. Because the Board

currently lacks a quorum, the motion has been referred to me pursuant to Section 102.180 of the

Board’s Rules and Regulations.

The Respondent’s motion for reconsideration is denied. Section 102.180 of the Board’s

Rules and Regulations provides that the Respondent can appeal my rulings on special appeals to

the Board on exceptions. The Respondent has not demonstrated that the arguments raised in its

motion cannot be addressed by the Board on exceptions, if necessary.

Dated, Washington, D.C., December 1, 2025

Robert A. Giannasi

Chief Administrative Law Judge
