THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL DECISION AND ORDER
By Members Liebman and Schaumber
On April 9, 1999, the National Labor Relations Board issued a Decision and Order[1] directing the Respondent, Aluminum Casting and Engineering Company, Inc., to make its employees whole for any loss of earnings and other benefits they may have suffered as a result of the Respondent’s unlawful failure to grant them a planned annual wage increase in 1995. On October 13, 2000, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit enforced the Board’s decision in part and remanded it in part, with instructions for the Board to conform its Order with the court’s opinion.[2] On May 16, 2001, the Board issued a Supplemental Decision and Order, substituting a new Order and notice for those previously issued on April 9, 1999.[3]
A controversy having arisen over the amount of backpay due the discriminatees, on May 11, 2007, the Regional Director for Region 30 issued an amended compliance specification.[4] On June 4, 2007, the Respondent filed an answer admitting all of the allegations in the amended compliance specification.
Thereafter, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Amendment to the Amended Compliance Specification (Stipulation). In the Stipulation, the parties noted that certain hours worked by the discriminatees at the end of calendar year 1995 were not accounted for in the amended compliance specification. The parties agreed to correct this omission as indicated in two attachments to the Stipulation. The Regional Director approved the parties’ Stipulation on September 20, 2007.[5]
On October 1, 2007, the General Counsel filed a Motion for Summary Judgment with the Board. On October 11, 2007, the Board issued an order transferring the proceeding to the Board and a Notice to Show Cause why the motion should not be granted.
The Respondent and the Charging Party filed responses to the General Counsel’s motion on October 9 and 15, 2007, respectively. The Respondent requests that the Board grant the motion, asserting that the allegations in the motion “are all correct and accurate.” The Charging Party similarly acknowledges that the allegations in the motion are correct, but takes issue with the Board’s underlying decision to limit the discriminatees’ backpay period. The Charging Party accordingly requests that the Board deny the motion, modify its earlier decision, and find that the backpay period in this case extends from 1995 to the present.[6]
On the entire record in this case, the National Labor Relations Board[7] makes the following
Ruling on the Motion for Summary Judgment
According to the uncontroverted allegations of the General Counsel’s Motion for Summary Judgment, the Respondent owes backpay to the discriminatees in the amounts specified in the amended compliance specification as further amended by the parties’ Stipulation. In the absence of any dispute as to the accuracy of those backpay amounts, we grant the General Counsel’s motion and find the Respondent liable for backpay as alleged.
