National Labor Relations Board v. C & C Plywood Corporation
Opinion
Opinion
Mathes, J.
The National Labor Relations Board petitions to enforce its order of August 24, 1964, which directs among other things that respondent: “Upon request, bargain with Plywood, Lumber, and Sawmill Workers Union No. 2405, AFL-CIO, with respect to the institution of a premium pay plan for glue spreader crews and, if requested by said Union, rescind any plan which Respondent may have unilaterally instituted.”
The order sought to be enforced is the culmination of Administrative proceedings which followed filing by the union of a complaint before the Board on July 31, 1963, charging that respondent, as employer, “has engaged in and is engaging in unfair labor practices” within the meaning of section 8(a), subsections (1) and (5) of the National Labor Relations Act [ 29 U.S.C. § 158 (a) (1) and (5)], in that: “On or about May 20, 1963, the Employer unilaterally, and without agreement with representatives of its employees, changed the wages, rates of pay and conditions of certain of its employees at a time when such rates of pay, wages and conditions had just been incorporated in a signed contract with the Union and were not subject to renegotiation or change by either party.”
