National Labor Relations Board v. Local 6306, Communication Workers of America

519 F.2d 447

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We enforce the order of the National Labor Relations Board. There is substantial evidence on the record as a whole to support the finding of the Board that the Local and International Unions violated § 8(b)(1)(A) of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 151 et seq., by fining two employees of Vactec, Inc., for their activity in support of a rival union’s petition for a Board representation election and by threatening to have them discharged for failure to pay the fine. The activities of the employees took place at a time when the prior contract had expired. See N. L. R. B. v. Marine Workers, 391 U.S. 418, 88 S.Ct. 1717, 20 L.Ed.2d 706 (1968); International Association of Machinists, District 9 v. N. L. R. B., 415 F.2d 113 (8th Cir. 1969).
