National Labor Relations Board, Petitioner, v. Carlos Wiley and Karina Wiley, Doing Business As Globalmarketing, Respondents, 89 F.3d 835 (6th Cir. 1996)

JUDGMENT

The National Labor Relations Board (the "Board") applies for summary enforcement of its September 12, 1995, decision and order in Case No. 7-CA-37174 in which it found the respondents violated federal labor law and directed the respondents to take certain remedial steps stated therein. The respondents did not file an answer to the complaint and have not made an appearance either before the Board or this court. Under these circumstances, we conclude the Board is entitled to the relief sought. See 29 U.S.C. § 160(e) ("No objection that has not been urged before the Board, its member, agent, or agency, shall be considered by the court, unless the failure or neglect to urge such objection shall be excused because of extraordinary circumstances.")

It therefore is ORDERED that the Board's decision and order in Case No. 7-CA-37174 is hereby enforced. The respondents, Carlos Wiley and Karina Wiley, d/b/a Global Marketing, Flint, Michigan, its officers, agents, successors, and assigns, shall:

(a) Discharging or otherwise discriminating against its employees because they engaged in protected concerted activities by demanding that respondents correct recurring problems with employee paychecks and to discourage employees from engaging in these or other concerted protected activities.

(b) In any like or related manner interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed them by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (the "Act").

2. Take the following affirmative action necessary to effectuate the policies of the Act:

(a) Offer Sherry Watkins immediate and full reinstatement to her former position or, if that job no longer exists, to a substantially equivalent position, without prejudice to her seniority or any other rights and privileges previously enjoyed, and make her whole for any loss of earnings or other benefits suffered as a result of the discrimination against her, in the manner set forth in the remedy section of the Board's decision and order.

(b) Expunge from its files any and all references to her unlawful discharge, and notify her in writing that this has been done.

(c) Preserve and, on request, make available to the Board or its agents, for examination and copying, all payroll records, social security payment records, timecards, personnel records and reports, and all other records necessary to analyze the amount of backpay due under the terms of this judgment.

(d) Post at its facility in Flint, Michigan, copies of the attached notice marked "Appendix." Copies of the notice, on forms provided by the Regional Director for Region 7 of the National Labor Relations Board (Detroit, Michigan), after being signed by the respondents' authorized representative, shall be posted by the respondents immediately upon receipt and maintained for 60 consecutive days in conspicuous places, including all places where notices to employees are customarily posted. Reasonable steps shall be taken by the respondents to ensure that the notices are not altered, defaced, or covered by any other material.

(e) Notify the said Regional Director, in writing, within 20 days from the date of this judgment, what steps the respondents have taken to comply with this judgment.
