466 F.2d 675 (7th Cir. 1972) Cited 13 times
In NLRB v. Caravelle Wood Products, Inc., 466 F.2d 675, 678 (7th Cir. 1972) (Caravelle I), for example, the Seventh Circuit specifically stated that it "[would] not allow the Board to apply an automatic or per se rule to exclude spouses and children under section 9(b)...." It recognized, though, that "there are many precedents for the Board's exclusion on a case-by-case basis of relatives who enjoy a `special status,' such as privileges or favorable working conditions not granted other employees."
