United States Ninth Circuit

Application to enforce an NLRB order finding that a union committed an unfair labor practice against intervenor, who refused to join the union, is granted where the NLRB's interpretation of the National Labor Relations Act, in finding that the union violated the Act by offsetting its "liquidated damages" from its nonrepresentational expenses, was rational and consistent with the Act.
