1 Member Miscimarra would find that the Employer has raised substantial issues about
the appropriateness of the petitioned-for unit, and he would therefore grant review. He
would not, however, apply Specialty Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center of Mobile, 357
NLRB No. 83 (2011), enfd. sub nom. Kindred Nursing Centers East v. NLRB, 727 F.3d
552 (6th Cir. 2013) for the reasons stated in Macy’s, Inc., 361 NLRB No. 4, slip op. at 22,
31-32 (2014) (Member Miscimarra, dissenting). Rather, under the Board’s traditional
community-of-interest standards, he would find that potential similarities among the
petitioned-for unit and the terminal, maintenance, and quality-control employees,
including functional integration, similar compensation and benefits, common supervision,
and interchange warrant further review of unit appropriateness.
