National Labor Relations Board v. Jack G. Buncher, D/B/A the Buncher Company
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit · Decided May 20, 1963 · McLaughlin, Forman, Coolahan
316 F.2d 928; 53 L.R.R.M. (BNA) 2247; 1963 U.S. App. LEXIS 5248 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

National Labor Relations Board v. Jack G. Buncher, D/B/A the Buncher Company

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The National Labor Relations Board, from substantial evidence on the whole case, found that respondent had violated Section 8(a) (1) of the Act by interrogating his employees about their union membership and activity, threatening them with loss of work and offering them benefits in order to discourage such activity and directing them to join a union not of their own choosing; and (2) violated Section 8(a) (3) and (1) by discharging 13 employees because they had joined or assisted a union.

The Board’s order of June 30, 1961, as amended by its clarifying order of September 22, 1961, recognizes that respondent’s business operations were more efficient and the work load could be accomplished with a reduced work force. Its order takes that situation into consideration and properly accommodates its reinstatement provisions in accordance with it.

The order of the Board will be enforced. A proposed decree may be submitted.
