Teamsters Local Union No. 509 v. NLRB, No. 12-1002 (D.C. Cir. 2015)
Annotate this Case
The union petitioned for review of the Board's conclusion that the union committed unfair labor
practices by operating a hiring hall that helped only its own members gain employment. The union operated a referral service for drivers seeking jobs in the entertainment production business in South Carolina. The dispute in this case stems from the employment of drivers for the television show called "Army Wives." The court concluded that substantial evidence supports the Board’s conclusions that the union’s referral list was open only to its members, that the union refused to refer Thomas Coghill for employment because he was not a member, and that the union would not have added Coghill to its list even it had remained open because he was not a member. Accordingly, the court denied the petition for review and granted the Board's cross-application for enforcement.
