HealthBridge Mgmt. v. NLRB, No. 14-1101 (D.C. Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseThis appeal stemmed from a labor dispute at six nursing homes operated by HealthBridge. The Board concluded that the company's conduct - taking down flyers about HealthBridge being "busted" for "violating labor law," and ordering its workers to remove stickers while working in patient care areas - violated section 8(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), 29 U.S.C. 158(a)(1). The court rejected HealthBridge’s challenge to the rule that the Board applied in this case because the court lacked jurisdiction where HealthBridge failed to put this issue before the Board; the Board’s conclusion that HealthBridge failed to demonstrate special circumstances in support of its ban is supported by substantial evidence in the record; and the Board’s finding that HealthBridge violated the NLRA by removing the “busted” notices from Union bulletin boards also finds substantial support in the record. Accordingly, the court denied HealthBridge's petition for review and granted the Board's cross-application for enforcement.
