STATEMENT OF THE CASE MARVIN ROTH , Administrative Law Judge, This case was heard at Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , on January , 22, 1985 The charge and amended charge were filed on July 25 and ' August 30; 1984 ,1 respectively by Interna- tional Union of Electronic , Technical , Salaried and Ma- chine Workers , AFL-CIO (the Union ) The complaint, which issued - on August 30 and was amended at the ' All dates herein are for 1984 unless otherwise indicated hearing, alleges that Chicago Rivet & Machine Co. (the Company or Respondent) violated Section 8(a)(1) and (3) of the National Labor Relations Act. The gravamen of the complaint is that the Company allegedly reassigned its employee Marion Glasgow to a different shift because of his union and concerted activities and in order to dis- courage other employees from engaging in such activi- ties. The Company's answer denies the commission of the alleged unfair labor practice. All parties were afford- ed full opportunity to participate, to present relevant evi- dence, to argue orally, and to file briefs. The General Counsel and the Company each filed a brief. . On the entire record in this case2 and from my obser- vation of the demeanor of the witnesses, and having con- sidered the briefs and arguments of the parties, I 'make the following FINDINGS OF FACT 1. THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY The Company, an Illinois corporation. operates a plant in Tyrone, Pennsylvania, where it is engaged in the man- ufacture and nonretail sale of rivets and automatic rivet setting machines. In the operation of its business, the Company annually receives at -its Tyrone plant, goods and materials valued in excess of $50,000, directly from points outside of Pennsylvania.. I find, as the Company admits, that it is an employer engaged in commerce within the meaning of Section- 2(6) and (7) of the Act. II. THE LABOR ORGANIZATION INVOLVED The Union is a labor organization within the meaning of Section 2(5) of the Act. III. THE ALLEGED UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE: TRANSFER OF MARION GLASGOW FROM SECOND-TO FIRST SHIFT ON JULY 23, 1984 Since 1957 Marion Glasgow has. worked as a lathe op- erator at the Tyrone plant He is regarded as a qualified and competent employee. He is also a long-time union activitist, having played a leading role in unsuccessful or- ganizational campaigns in 1968, 1976, 1982, and 1984. The most recent campaign, involving the present union, culminated in a Board-conducted election on June 7 which the Union lost by a vote of 75 to 170 in a unit of about 253 employees. Glasgow was again the principal union, activist in this campaign, and his activities and views were well known to management. The Company operates three other plants. At one of these (the Compa- ny's home plant in Illinois), the employees are represent- ed by a union. During the 1984 campaign the Company actively opposed, unionization The Company has no his- tory of unfair labor practices, -and there is no contention that the Company ever discriminated against Glasgow except with respect to the transfer which is the subject of this case, or otherwise violated the Act. 2 Transcript errors have been noted and corrected 275 NLRB No. 178 CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO. , ' 1299 Glasgow worked on the first or day shift until 1978.3 During this time he made known to management that'he preferred to work on the second shift because he operat- ed a farm on a part-time basis. However he declined two opportunities to work at 'different jobs on the second shift In 1978, at a time when the Company was increas- ing its employee complement, the Company commenced utilizing Glasgow's lathe on a two-shift basis. Glasgow was transferred to the second shift, where in accordance with his own preference he worked on a regular basis, and another employee, one Charles Fischer, operated the machine on the first shift. After about 1 year, the work- load declined, and Fischer was assigned to a different job. Glasgow testified without contradiction that at this time, his immediate supervisor, Too] and Parts Depart- ment Supervisor Leonard Miller, told him to remain on the second shift because he was "needed."4 It is undis- puted that the Company thereby failed to adhere to its own policy whereby if a job or a given machine on the job is vacant on first shift, the employee assigned to that job is to.work first shift. Miller testified that then Gener- al Manager Peter Castello decided to leave Glasgow on the second shift, and that Glasgow was assigned to the second shift in order to provide "on-the-spot assistance" for the header department employees on that shift. (The nature of that assistance will be discussed.) Castello was general manager and in charge of day-to-day operations at Tyrone from October 1977 until September 1981. Roger Branstetter, now company vice president and gen- eral manager at the plant, who assertedly made the deci- sion to transfer Glasgow in July 1984, began working at Tyrone in 1947 He" progressed through. the ranks until 1967, when he became vice president and general manag- er, and in that capacity was in charge of day-to-day op- erations at Tyrone for the next 10 years. In 1977 his functions were. divided, with Castello functioning as gen- eral manager of operations and Branstetter, as vice presi- dent, performing "corporate" functions, principally in sales. In August 1980 Branstetter left the Company's employ, but functioned as a private consultant for the Company, servicing its customers. However in Septem- ber 1981 he returned to the Tyrone-plant where he re- sumed his former duties as the individual in charge of day operations, with the titles of vice president and gen- eral manager. In the meantime, from 1979 until July 1984, Marion Glasgow operated his lathe on the second shift without any employee operating that machine on the first shift. As a second-shift employee Glasgow received a premium of 75 cents per hour in addition to his regular wage In late 1982 Glasgow was away, from work for about 10 weeks because of illness. During this time Charles Fisch- er, who had been working elsewhere on the first shift, 9 The first shift normally operates from 7 am to 3 30 p in and the second from 3 30 p in to midnight However when there is a third shift ih operation (as was the situation until October 29, 1984 ), the tool and parts department (including Glasgow), maintenance and machine shop personnel work the above hours on first and second shift, but the header department shifts are from l a m to 3 p in , 3 to I and 11 pm to 7 am 4 Miller was tool and parts supervisor until August 1, 1984, when he was promoted to assistant general manager , the second highest position on the plant Miller was a principal company witness in this proceeding was assigned to Glasgow's machine on the first shift. In December 1982, when Glasgow returned to his job, he also "returned to the second shift Although Branstetter was now in charge of day-to-day operations, Leonard Miller testified that there was no discussion of assigning Glasgow to the first shift, because he was working the second shift when he became ill.. Whether on, first or second shift, Glasgow's principal job was to lathe stock and component parts for the header machines. However a small proportion of his work consisted of various main- tenance and repair functions, involving the use. of his lathe, for the benefit, of the header machine operators. Glasgow had little occasion to perform these functions on the first shift, as there were other personnel available to do so. However, on the second shift, in Glasgow's ab- sence, the operators would find it necessary to -request a maintenance employee to perform these functions.. The operators and their supervisors found it advantageous to call upon Glasgow to perform these functions.5 First, Glasgow regularly worked at one location and was easily accessible to the operators, whereas the mainte- nance employee might be anywhere in the.plant at any given time. Second, since these functions involved the use of his lathe, Glasgow had the necessary tools and materials available at hand. Third, while some of the functions could be performed as easily by the mainte- nance employee as by Glasgow, e.g., sharpening knives and quills, Glasgow could perform difficult functions, e.g., resetting broken dies, more expeditiously, as this was his area of expertise. The Tyrone plant was shut down for its annual vaca- tion from July 1 to July 15. On July 17 Glasgow was summoned to the personnel office. Vice President Bran- stetter, Personnel Manager William Decker, and Supervi- sor Miller were, present. Branstetter told Glasgow that he would be returning to the first shift effective as of the following Monday, July 23. Glasgow asked why. Bran- stetter answered that there was no problem with Glas- gow's work, that his work was satisfactory, but that it was contrary to company policy to-permit him to work the second shift unless there was another employee on his lathe. Glasgow offered to give. up his shift premium, but Branstetter answered that this was also not permitted under company policy. Branstetter told Glasgow that he could return to the second shift if business picked up to the point that the Company needed a second employee on his lathe. In view of the, facts that the Company had not used a second employee on his lathe for some 5 years, and the Company was in the process of consoli- dating rather than expanding its operations, the likeli- hood of such an opportunity would be extremely, remote. Vice President Branstetter testified that he did not learn until April 1984 that Glasgow was working on the second 'shift and that no one was operating his lathe on the first shift. At the time the Company was in the proc- ess of consolidating its, Tyrone operation by closing a S John Kobuk and Samuel Waite rotated as header department fore- man on the second shift There was no tool and parts supervisor on the second shift Prior to the July 23 transfer Supervisor Miller would assign Glasgow his work for each day Glasgow would perform the mainte- nance and repair work at the direction'of the header foreman on duty 1300 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD A building which it had been using since 1979 Branstetter and Supervisor Miller were discussing how they could make room for equipment from the closed building Branstetter suggested getting rid,of Glasgow's lathe, but Miller advised against such a move. Branstetter, who ad- mittedly knew that Glasgow operated this particular lathe, testified that he, then asked Miller why Glasgow was not then working on the-lathe According to Bran- stetter, he then learned for the first time that Glasgow was working -on the second shift. Branstetter testified that about a week later he told Miller that he intended to put Glasgow on the first shift, and that he also informed Company President Brown (based in Illinois) of his in- tention However Brown told him to wait until after the union election campaign and the scheduled summer va- cation (which he did).' Branstetter testified in sum that he transferred Glasgow because of the Company's policy of assigning employees to the first shift in` such situations, and that the Company followed this policy because (1) the Company had management support and component operations available on the first shift, and (2) it was more economical to place employees on the first shift because the Company did not then have to pay a shift premium In order' to accept Branstetter's explanation, I would have to believe that for more than 2-1/2 years as general manager he was not only unaware that no one was oper- ating Glasgow's lathe on the first shift. but `that he was also under the mistaken impression that, Glasgow was working on the first shift. Branstetter's assertions in this regard are incredible. Branstetter was in charge of day- to-day operations at the Tyrone plant' since September 1981. The plant complement was relatively, small. As of June 30, 1981, the plant had a total of 333 active produc- tion employees. By June 30, 1983, that, figure had de- clined to a low of 229 employees. Thereafter the comple- ment increased slightly, but remained- below 250 Bran- stetter had been employed at the plant for some 37 years, had progressed - through the ranks and ' was obviously thoroughly familiar with every facet of its operations. He was responsible only for the Tyrone plant. Branstetter admitted that he regularly walked through the plant to observe operations, that he went through every depart- ment at least once a week, that' ,he, was familiar with Glasgow's lathe, and that if you "pay particular atten- tion" to any, piece of equipment, you- can tell whether it is running on a given shift. Nevertheless Branstetter in- sisted that he simply never noticed that no one was oper- ating the lathe on the first-shift. However Branstetter im- pliedly .contradicted- his corollary assertion (that • he- did not -know -that- Glasgow was working the second shift) when he indicated 'in his testimony that'he,was familiar with the circumstances under which Glasgow went from the first shift to the-second shift. 'Glasgow, was along- time and valued -employee. In' order-'to credit Branstetter, I, would have to believe that from September 1981 to April 1984, Branstetter never, saw Glasgow at : work; since by :observing him' at work he- would. know that Glasgow worked the second shift.' Such 'a premise. is in-.1 11 -1 1 credible. Moreover; Branstetter's tenure as general man- ager (beginning in 1981 ) was marked by declining busi- ness and a-declining work force. In these circumstances, such as Branstetter would have overlooked an opportuni- ty to economize by transferring an employee to, the first shift,, unless there were compensating advantages which warranted retaining that employee on the second shift. In sum , I do not credit Branstetter's professed lack of knowledge concerning, the actual situation I find that from September 1981 to July. 1984 the Company, and specifically Branstetter, knowingly permitted Glasgow to work on the second shift, although no one was operating his lathe on the first shift. Castello, rather than Branstet- ter, made the original decision to retain Glasgow on the second shift. Branstetter evidently considered himself a better manager than Castello. However both general managers were charged with carrying out the same cor- porate policies. Those,policies did not change,in any per- tinent respect when Branstetter resumed his former posi- tion as general manager of the Tyrone plant. In light of the testimony of Assistant General Manager Miller,' it is evident that Castello decided to retain Glasgow on the second shift in order to enable him-to continue to service the header operators on that shift For the reasons dis- cussed, I find that Branstetter adhered • to that decision after he succeeded Castello - The. question then remains: Why did Branstetter sud- denly decide in April '1984 to transfer Glasgow to the first shift? In support of its position in this case, the Company presented the testimony of an industrial man- agement consultant, who testified-in sum that, as a gener- al rule; it is preferable to have employees work on the first shift, and that he would so advise his clients.-For its part,.the General Counsel presented testimony concern- ing' the 'advantages of having Glasgow on the second shift,:-and the fact that'his supervisors preferred that he work-on the second shift in order to service the header operators If all- that were involved in this case was a question. of the'-relative advantages, from the standpoint of industrial efficiency of having Glasgow work on the first shift instead of the second shift, I would agree with the' Company that the General ' Counsel would not have much of a case The key question is not what the Com- pany `should have done from the standpoint of industrial efficiency, but what'it `did do As the Company points dut in its brief -(p. 17), the "real issue" in this case is whether Branstetter's' recitation of the chain of events culminating in Glasgow's transfer is credible. As dis- cussed; I have found' that Branstetter's recitation is not credible in its critical aspect; namely, his professed lack- of knowledge of-the actual situation. As of 1979, when Castello decided`to'keep' Glasgow on the second shift, and-as•of September 1981 when Branstetter became gen- eral' manager and retained 'Glasgow on the second shift, the situation was no different from the standpoint of in- dustrial -'efficiency"than it was-in July 1984 when Bran- stetter transferred Glasgow to the first shift. The Compa- ny's policy did not change, and Branstetter did not learn anything"pertinerit''about industrial 'efficiency that he did not already know -'He did not consult an industrial man- agement consultant except before transferring Glasgow 6 6 The management consultant who testified for the Company, had never acted as a consultant. for the Company (nor had his firm), and he it is unlikely that an'astute' and knowledgeable' manager. Continued CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO 1301 Indeed, if Branstetter was motivated by considerations of industrial efficiency, then July 1984 would seem an un- likely time to tighten up operations by putting Glasgow on the first shift Rather it is more likely that the Compa- ny would take such action when it was reducing its -op- erations. However, although the Company had - been laying off employees since mid-1979 and had reduced its complement of production employees to about one-half of its size at that peak period, the Company was, as of the summer of 1984, in the-process of temporarily in- creasing its work force. Moreover, the evidence indicates that the Company did, in fact, accommodate the personal preferences of its valued employees, without regard to considerations of company policy or industrial efficiency. Thus, the Com- pany permitted employees to temporarily transfer to the second shift during the hunting season , and. (contrary to Branstetter's assertion to Glasgow) permitted them to waive their shift premium in order to accommodate their preference Branstetter testified that former Manager Castello permitted this- practice, but that when he learned about it he instructed his supervisors that this, practice would no longer be permitted. According to Branstetter, he so informed his supervisors at a meeting in April or May 1982. However header operator William Hunter testified that he waived shift premium in order to work on second shift during the 1982 hunting season, i.e., after May 1982, and that he did so on a form provid- ed by the Company. Even Branstetter admitted that an- other employee, Jerry Kobuck, was permitted to waive shift premium to work on second shift during the 1982 or 1983 hunting season, i.e., after he allegedly informed his supervisors that this practice was not permitted. Plainly, this could not have occurred without Branstet- ter's approval. As indicated, Glasgow offered to waive shift premium in order to remain on the second shift. Therefore the Company did not effectuate even this minimal saving from his transfer There 1is no contention that Glasgow needed more supervision or support services which were available only during the first shift.. There is no conten- tion or evidence that Glasgow's transfer was designed to or did improve production on either the first or second shift. From an industrial management standpoint, the only tangible effect of Glasgow's transfer was delay and inconvenience during the period that the maintenance employee adjusted to a system under which-he was re- quired to perform the maintenance and repair functions which had formerly been,performed by Glasgow. The transfer did result in considerable personal hardship to Glasgow. In addition to losing his shift premium ,,Glas- gow was placed in a position, as- Branstetter well knew, whereby he might be forced to choose between his.job and his farm • In sum, nothing occurred between September 1981 and July 1984 which, from an industrial management. stand,-_ point, would warrant Glasgow's, transfer to the day,shift. had no personal knowledge concerning the Tyrone plant Rather he was simply retained by company-counsel to testify as an expert witness in this proceeding Therefore the value of his testimony is at best questionable See Plasterers Local 121 (Associated Building Contractors), 264 NLRB 192 fn 1 (1982) Branstetter's explanation for the transfer,, i.e., that after all these years he suddenly discovered- a violation of company :policy, 'was demonstrably false. What did happen was-that during the spring of 1984 there was a union organizational campaign, vigorously opposed by the Company, in which Glasgow once again was the leading union adherent.? At the height of the campaign, Branstetter informed, his supervisors that, he would be transferring Glasgow to the first shift, and after the elec- tion.results were certified he carried out that decision.8 In these circumstances, including the Company's outspo- ken opposition to unionization, the timing of-the transfer, the absence of any legitimate occasion or need to trans- fer Glasgow, the demonstrably false reason advanced by Branstetter for the transfer, and the absence of any tangi- ble economic benefit to the.Company, coupled with pre- dictable hardship to Glasgow, the inference is warranted that the Company transferred Glasgow in retaliation for his union.activity, and ,as an object lesson to other em- ployees who, might..be`inclined to engage in,such-activi- ty. The Company violated Section 8(a)(1) and (3),of the Act. See Shattuck Denn Mining Corp. v. NLRB, 362 F.2d 466, 470-(9th Cif'. 1966), ' W..- T. Grant Co. v. NLRB, supra. ,CONCLUSIONS OF.
