U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit · Decided April 15, 1976 · Weick, Edwards, Adams
533 F.2d 336; 92 L.R.R.M. (BNA) 3184; 1976 U.S. App. LEXIS 11789 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

The Firestone Tire and Rubber Company v. National Labor Relations Board

Opinion

ORDER

Upon consideration of Firestone’s petition for review and the Board’s cross-application for enforcement, we are of the opinion that the Board erred in denying Firestone an evidentiary hearing on its objections to the election on the ground that the union on the eve of the election made misrepresentations to employees that it had negotiated provisions in its contract permitting security guards to transfer into production positions and to return to their positions as guards if they did not like the job into which they had been transferred.

It is therefore ORDERED that the Board’s order be vacated and the cause remanded to the Board for an evidentiary hearing on said issue.
