CPC of Missouri Smithville d/b/a Local Cannabis Company  (14-RD-365618)  Smithville, MO, March 11, 2026.  The Board denied the Petitioner’s Request for Review of the Regional Director’s Decision and Order dismissing the petition as it raised no substantial issues warranting review.  Petitioner—an individual.  Union—International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local Union No. 41. Members Prouty, Murphy, and Mayer participated.

Casey Trees  (05-RC-331074)  Washington, DC, March 11, 2026.  The Board denied the Employer’s Request for Review of the Regional Director’s Decision and Direction of Election as it raised no substantial issues warranting review. The Board stated its agreement with the Regional Director’s finding that the Employer has not demonstrated that the employees in the Employer’s Tree Operations department should be excluded as agricultural laborers under the definition of either primary or secondary agricultural activity set forth in Section 3(f) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. In denying review of the Regional Director’s finding that the petitioned-for unit is appropriate, the Board found no merit in the Employer’s contention that the unit is inappropriate without the inclusion of the Tree Farm employees as a petitioned-for unit is not rendered inappropriate by the exclusion of individuals who are not employees within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the Act.  In this case, the Board found that with the undisputed exclusion of the Tree Farm employees, the petitioned-for unit is presumptively appropriate employer-wide unit, and that the Employer has not provided sufficient evidence to rebut that presumption.   Petitioner—International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO.  Members Prouty, Murphy, and Mayer participated.
