INOVA Health System v. NLRB, No. 14-1144 (D.C. Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseInova challenged the Board's ruling that it had unlawfully discharged, disciplined, or failed to promote certain nurses because they had engaged in concerted activities protected by the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. 158(a)(1). The court held that the Board’s unfair labor practice determinations were reasonable, consistent with the law, and supported by substantial evidence. The court concluded that the suspension and termination of Donna Miller constituted an unfair labor practice; Inova's warning to Miller not to discuss the suspension constituted an unfair labor practice; Inova's discipline of Judy Giordano for her physical encounter with a human resources employee while protesting Miller's discharge constituted an unfair labor practice; and Inova's failure to promote Cathy Gamble constituted an unfair labor practice. Accordingly, the court denied Inova’s petition to review the Board’s order and granted the Board’s cross-application for enforcement.
