U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Industrial Bearing & Transmission Co., Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board, 570 F.2d 839 (8th Cir. 1978)
97 L.R.R.M. (BNA) 2924; 1978 U.S. App. LEXIS 12499

Industrial Bearing & Transmission Co., Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This matter is before the Court on the petition of the Industrial Bearing & Transmission Co., Inc., to review and set aside an order of the National Labor Relations Board issued July 13, 1977, and the cross-application of the National Labor Relations Board for the enforcement of the order. The decision of the Board is reported at 230 N.L.R.B. 142, LRRM (1977).

After a careful review of the record, the briefs and oral argument, we find that there is substantial evidence in the record as a whole to support the Board’s finding that petitioner discharged Perry Collins and Dennis Michael Sullivan for participating in a union organizational drive within the plant, in violation of § 8(a)(1) and (3) of the National Labor Relations Act.

*840 We also find that there is substantial evidence in the record as a whole to support the Board’s finding that petitioner violated § 8(a)(1) of the Act by threatening the employees with plant closure and loss of jobs if the employees designated or selected a union by coercively interrogating employees concerning union activities of fellow employees, and by coercively interrogating Collins and Sullivan concerning their union activities.

We accordingly enforce the order of the Board.
