United States DC Circuit

In case where company owners distributed all company's funds to themselves, respondent's reversal of ALJ's piercing of corporate veil to impose personal liability on one of owners, after respondent had earlier found flagrant NLRA violations, is vacated where respondent failed to cite evidence sufficient to support the findings upon which it based its refusal to pierce the veil, and further failed to explain why it disregarded significant contrary evidence.
