National Labor Relations Board v. Antonino Carilli, D/B/A Antonino's Restaurant
Opinion
Opinion
East, J.
The National Labor Relations Board (Board) petitions for enforcement of its order against Antonino Carilli, d/b/a Antonino’s Restaurant (Antonino’s). The Board found that Antonino’s engaged in unfair labor practices in violation of Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (Act) by interrogating an employee about her Union membership, suggesting that employees withdraw or resign from the Union, implying to employees that it would be futile to join or support the Union, and by unilaterally implementing a new medical and dental insurance program in order to discourage Union membership.
The Board also found that Antonino’s had violated Sections 8(a)(1) and 8(a)(5) of the Act by withdrawing recognition from the Union, refusing to negotiate, and unilaterally terminating certain payments to the employees’ health and pension trust funds. The Board’s order essentially directs Antonino’s to cease and desist from committing these and other unfair labor practices, to bargain with the Union upon request, and to pay delinquent contributions to the employees’ trust funds.
We note jurisdiction pursuant to Section 10(e) of the Act, and grant enforcement. FACTS
