Read U-Haul Co. of NV, Inc vs. Nat'l Labor Review Bd., 05-1464

After a NLRB decision directing a company to recognize and bargain with a union, the company's petition for review is denied over petitioner's arguments that: 1) the General Counsel of the NLRB abused his discretion in refusing to consolidate this case with another case involving the same parties; and 2) because the union upset the "laboratory conditions" necessary for a valid representation election, petitioner's refusal to bargain with the union did not violate the National Labor Relations Act.
