Summarized Board Decisions
Governed United Security Professionals (Golden SVCS, LLC) (05-CB-299530; 373 NLRB No. 66) Washington, DC, June 11, 2024. Errata issued June 12, 2024. Errata Amended Decision.
The Board adopted the Administrative Law Judge’s conclusions that, after a majority of bargaining unit employees had voted to deauthorize the union-security clause in the collective-bargaining agreement between the Respondent and the Employer, the Respondent violated Section 8(b)(1)(A) by failing and refusing to recognize employees’ revocations of their dues or fees deduction authorizations and continuing to accept the deductions from the Employer. Charge filed by an individual. Administrative Law Judge Michael A. Rosas issued his decision on August 18, 2023. Members Kaplan, Prouty, and Wilcox participated.
***
Commercial Solar Arizona, LLC (28-CA-288120 and 28-CA-291982; 373 NLRB No. 69) Scottsdale, AZ, June 14, 2024.
The Board affirmed the Administrative Law Judge’s dismissal of an unlawful discharge allegation, but relied on a different rationale. The Board found that the General Counsel did not meet her initial burden under Wright Line because the evidence did not establish that the Respondent discharged the alleged discriminatee. The Board also remanded unlawful work rule allegations for the judge to apply Stericycle, Inc., 372 NLRB No. 113 (2023). However, the Board did not remand the allegation regarding the Respondent’s “Phone, Computer, E-mail and Internet Usage” handbook policy, as the judge properly applied Caesars Entertainment d/b/a Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, 368 NLRB No. 143 (2019), to find that the policy was lawful.
Charges filed by an individual. Administrative Law Judge Ariel L. Sotolongo issued his decision on June 20, 2023. Chairman McFerran and Members Prouty and Wilcox participated.
