United States First Circuit

In a labor dispute arising from an employer's decision to consolidate two of its product testing labs at different locations on its worksite into one lab, the decision of the National Labor Relations Board (Board), finding that the employer had violated sections 8(a)(1) and (5) of the National Labor Relations Act, is affirmed where: 1) the Board made no error of law in reaching its decision and its findings were supported by substantial evidence in the record; 2) the Board did not err in its conclusion that the employer did not violate the collective bargaining agreement; and 3) the challenges to the Board's remedial order by both the employer and the union are either premature or without merit.
