Eighth Circuit Reverses NLRB’s Coercion and Impression of Surveillance Rulings | Practical Law
In Greater Omaha Packing Co. v. NLRB, the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit declined to enforce the portion of a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Order that found that an employer violated Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) by making statements that illegally coerced employees not to engage in protected activity and by creating the impression of wrongful surveillance. The Eighth Circuit granted the petition to enforce the portion of the Board's Order that found the employer violated Section 8(a)(1) when it fired three employees for their participation in a planned work stoppage.
