Board Rescinds Invitation to File Briefs in Loshaw Thermal Technology

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Board issued an order granting the Charging Party Union’s request to withdraw the underlying charge in Loshaw Thermal Technology, LLC, 05-CA-158650 and rescinded its Notice and Invitation to File Briefs (NIFB) in the matter.  The Board had invited briefs in this case to determine whether Section 9(a) bargaining relationships in the construction industry may be established by contract language alone.  The Board had originally issued the NIFB on September 11, 2018, but it was suspended on October 15, 2018 following the Charging Party Union’s request to withdraw the underlying charge on October 5, 2018.  The Board will consider the issues raised in the NIFB in a future appropriate proceeding.
