Sec. 101.12  Board decision and order.

    (a) If any party files exceptions to the administrative law judge's 
decision, the Board, with the assistance of the staff counsel to each 
Board Member who function in much the same manner as law clerks do for 
judges, reviews the entire record, including the administrative law 
judge's decision and recommendations, the exceptions thereto, the 
complete transcript of evidence, and the exhibits, briefs, and 
arguments. The Board does not consult with members of the administrative

law judge's staff of the division of judges or with any agent of the 
General Counsel in its deliberations. It then issues its decision and 
order in which it may adopt, modify, or reject the findings and 
recommendations of the administrative law judge. The decision and order 
contains detailed findings of fact, conclusions of law, and basic 
reasons for decision on all material issues raised, and an order either 
dismissing the complaint in whole or in part or requiring the respondent 
to cease and desist from its unlawful practices and to take appropriate 
affirmative action.
    (b) If no exceptions are filed, the administrative law judge's 
decision and recommended order automatically become the decision and 
order of the Board pursuant to section 10(c) of the Act. All objections 
and exceptions, whether or not previously made during or after the 
hearing, are deemed waived for all purposes.
