We adopt the Judge\u2019s decision to the extent that it is consistent with the following.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00a0\u00a0On November 5, 1973, respondent was issued one citation for non-serious violation together with a notification that a penalty of $80 was proposed. Respondent timely filed a notice of contest as to item 1 on November 13, 1973.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOn March 8, 1974, respondent filed a motion to withdraw its notice of contest. In accordance with Commission procedure, respondent certified that it had abated the alleged violations, that it had paid the proposed penalty, that it had posted a copy of its motion to withdraw its notice of contest, and that it would continue to comply with the Act.1\t\t\t\t\t\tRespondent\u2019s motion did\t\t\t\t\t\tnot, however, certify that a copy of its motion had been served upon the authorized employee representative, I.B.E.W. Local 103.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSubsequent to\t\t\t\t\t\tthe Commission\u2019s direction for review, the Commission ruled that posting of a motion to withdraw a notice of contest is sufficient notice to affected employees when no affected employees have elected party status.\t\t\t\t\t\tNewspaper Agency Corp., No. 1902 (May 6, 1974).
