ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR REHEARING
Although we deny the National Labor Relations Board’s Petition for Rehearing, we note that the failure to notify respondent’s attorney was not entirely the fault of the Board’s counsel. The actions of the respondent may have significantly contributed to the Board’s counsel’s ignoring the respondent’s attorney of record, and may have set in motion the course of events regarding the settlement discussions. However, we think it was incumbent upon the Board’s attorney, before discussing settlement directly with Autotronics, either to contact respondent’s attorney of record or procure a written statement withdrawing or denying the attorney’s written appearance in the proceeding on respondent’s behalf.
