United States DC Circuit

Petition for enforcement of finding that two of petitioner's work rules, one requiring that employees register their complaints only through the chain of command and the other barring solicitation, violated the National Labor Relations Act, is granted. Enforcement of a finding that a rule barring "fraternization" was lawful is denied as the rule was unreasonable.
