The Appeals Board denied reconsideration, upholding the prior decision which found the employer's reasons for maintaining venue in Oakland (location of witnesses and employer) outweighed the applicant's convenience. The Board noted that the applicant could still seek general assistance from Information and Assistance officers at the San Jose office regardless of venue.
