NLRB v. Downtown Bid Servs. Corp., No. 11-1199 (D.C. Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseThe National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) sought enforcement of an order finding Downtown BID (the Company), a non-profit business improvement corporation, committed an unfair labor practice when it refused to bargain with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (the Union) following an employee election. The Company contended that agents or supporters of the Union unlawfully threatened and harassed employees and otherwise engaged in electioneering that interfered with the fairness and outcome of the election. The NLRB overruled these objections and certified the Union. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the NLRB's application, holding (1) the NLRB's findings and conclusions were supported by substantial evidence and consistent with NLRB precedent; and (2) therefore, the Company's subsequent refusal to bargain was therefore unlawful.
