Durham School Services, LP v. NLRB, No. 14-1284 (D.C. Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseThe Regional Director issued a complaint alleging that petitioner had violated Section 8(a)(5) and (1) of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. 158(a)(5), (1), by refusing to recognize and bargain with the Union following Board certification. The Board granted summary judgment, holding that petitioner had violated the Act as charged. The Board disposed of petitioner's contention that the Union impermissibly deceived voters by distributing a campaign flyer pursuant to Midland National Life Insurance Co.; dismissed petitioner's claim that the Board Agent handling the election compromised the integrity of the election in various ways when, inter alia, she carried the election booth and the ballot box to petitioner’s parking lot to permit a disabled employee to cast a ballot, because there was nothing to indicate that the manner in which the election was conducted raised a reasonable doubt as to the fairness and validity of the election; and petitioner was not entitled to a hearing on its objections because it failed to proffer evidence raising any substantial and material factual issues. The court concluded that the Board’s Decisions and Orders are neither arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, nor otherwise not in accordance with law. Accordingly, the court denied the petition for review and granted the cross-application for enforcement.
