Sec. 3.14  Intervention.

    (a) Any individual, partnership, unincorporated association, or 
corporation desiring to intervene in an adjudicative proceeding shall 
make written application in the form of a motion setting forth the basis 
therefor. Such application shall have attached to it a certificate 
showing service thereof upon each party to the proceeding in accordance 
with the provisions of Sec. 4.4(b) of this chapter. A similar 
certificate shall be attached to the answer filed by any party, other 
than counsel in support of the complaint, showing service of such answer 
upon the applicant. The Administrative Law Judge or the Commission may 
by order permit the intervention to such extent and upon such terms as 
are provided by law or as otherwise may be deemed proper.
    (b) In an adjudicative proceeding where the complaint states that 
divestiture relief is contemplated, the labor organization[s] 
representing employees of the respondent[s] may intervene as a matter of 
right. Applications for such intervention are to be made in accordance 
with the procedures set forth in paragraph (a) of this section and must 
be filed within 60 days of the issuance of the complaint. Intervention 
as a matter of right shall be limited to the issue of the effect, if 
any, of proposed remedies on employment, with full rights of 
participation in the proceeding concerning this issue. This paragraph 
does not affect a labor organization's ability to petition for leave to 
intervene pursuant to Sec. 3.14(a).
