National Labor Relations Board v. Bedford Discounters, Inc.
Opinion
The findings of the Board that the Bedford Discounters, Inc. violated the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 151 et. seq. §§ 8(a)(1) by engaging in threats of reprisal, coercive interrogation, promises and grants of benefits and 8(a)(3) and (1) in discharging employees because of their union activity are amply supported by the record as a whole. Further, because the Board’s findings are clearly supported, we cannot regard the company’s resistance thereto as anything but frivolous: “Some penalty should attach to taking up our time with such a meritless contention.” N.L.R.B. v. Smith & Wesson, 424 F.2d 1072, 1073 (1st Cir. 1970). Application for enforcement of the order of the National Labor Relations Board is granted and pursuant to FRAP 38 the Board will recover, in addition to its regular costs, the sum of $250 for expenses.
