Unpublished Board Decisions in Representation and Unfair Labor Practice Cases
R Cases
Wendt Corporation (03-RD-331940) Cheektowaga, NY, January 20, 2026. The Board denied the Union’s Request for Review of the Regional Director’s Decision and Direction of Election as it raised no substantial issues warranting review. In denying review of the Regional Director’s decision not to dismiss and instead to direct an election regarding the decertification petition at issue, the Board noted the parties had stipulated that, prior to the filing of the instant petition, the Employer had remedied its prior unfair labor practices and that the notice-posting period had fully run and the Regional Director took administrative notice that the showing of interest in this matter was dated after the completion of the notice-posting period. Petitioner—an individual. Union—Shopmen’s Local Union No. 852. Members Prouty, Murphy, and Mayer participated.
Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service, Inc. (13-RC-356185) Chicago, IL, January 20, 2026. The Board denied the Employer’s Request for Review of the Regional Director’s Decision on Objections and Certification of Representative (in which the Regional Director overruled the Employer’s sole objection), finding that it raised no substantial issues warranting review. Petitioner—Teamsters Local Union No. 743. Members Prouty, Murphy, and Mayer participated.
Montefiore Nyack Hospital (02-RC-349294) Nyack, NY, January 23, 2026. The Board denied the Employer’s Request for Review of the Regional Director’s Decision and Direction of Election solely with respect to the Employer’s request that the Board review the Regional Director’s scheduling of the preelection hearing, as well as the Employer’s Emergency Request for Special Permission to Appeal the Regional Director’s August 30 and September 6, 2024 Orders (which the Board treated as a request for review), finding that they raised no substantial issues warranting review. The Board stated that it would rule on the other issues raised in the Request for Review of the Regional Director’s Decision and Direction of Election in due course. Petitioner—New York State Nurses Association. Members Prouty, Murphy, and Mayer participated.
Reproductive Medicine Associations of Northern California (20-RC-359618) San Francisco, CA, January 23, 2026. The Board denied the Employer’s Request for Review of the Acting Regional Director’s decision to open and count determinative challenged ballots as it raised no substantial issues warranting review. The Board agreed with the Acting Regional Director that the parties’ “eligibility agreement” prohibited the voter in question from casting a ballot at the polling session in question, but agreed that enforcing the agreement would be contrary to the Act and established Board policy as the agreement treated eligible voters disparately; the Board also noted that the Notice of Election did not advise voters of the agreement’s voting-location limitations. In so finding, the Board did not rely on Norris-Thermador Corp., 119 NLRB 1301 (1958), which typically resolve the eligibility of all voters, but instead relied on the general principle that the Board will not enforce party stipulations that are contrary to the record evidence, the Act, or established Board policy. The Board stated that the Region’s involvement in drafting the “eligibility agreement” did not warrant different result, but encouraged Regions who are soliciting, drafting, or approving Norris-Thermador agreements to ensure the agreement reached by the parties is, in fact, a Norris-Thermador agreement. Petitioner—Teamsters Local 856. Members Prouty, Murphy, and Mayer participated.
C Cases

Dibble’s finding that the Respondent had engaged in certain unfair labor practices, the Board adopted the judge’s findings and conclusions, and ordered the Respondent to take the action set forth in the judge’s recommended Order. Charge filed by International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America, Local 865.
