Carmen Hernandez v. National Labor Relations Board

505 F.2d 119

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Petitioners seek to appeal from the refusal of the General Counsel of the NLRB to issue a complaint on charges filed by petitioners. There had theretofore been an appeal to the General Counsel from the refusal of the Regional Director to issue a complaint on the charges. The Board has moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

We find no basis for departing from the teaching of the Supreme Court that “ . . . the Board’s General Counsel has unreviewable discretion to refuse to institute an unfair labor practice complaint.” Vaca v.
