OF MACHINISTS, A. F. OF L. Case No. 18-CA-406. February 16,
1955
Supplemental Decision and Order
On March 13, 1953, the National Labor Relations Board issued a
Decision and Order in the above-entitled case,' finding, inter alia, that
the Respondent had violated Section 8 (a) (3) and (1) of the Act by
discharging employees John Suchan, Libo Napoli, and Frank Koch
because of their membership in the Union. The Board therefore or-
dered that the Respondent make these employees whole for any loss
of pay which they may have suffered as a result of the discrimination
practiced against them.
In due course, the Board petitioned the United States Court of Ap-
peals for the Eighth Circuit for enforcement of its Order. On Janu-
ary 20, 1954, the court, by consent decree, enforced the Board's Order.
Thereafter, on February 11, 1954, the Regional Director for the Eight-
eenth Region issued a notice of hearing for the purpose of determin-
ing the amounts of back pay due Napoli, Suchan, and Koch. A hear-
ing was held on March 24, 25, and 26, 1954, before Trial Examiner
Max M. Goldman. On August 12, 1954, the Trial Examiner issued
his Supplemental Intermediate Report and Recommendation attached
hereto, in which he recommended that the discriminatees be awarded
specified amounts of back pay. Thereafter, the Respondent filed ex-
ceptions to the Supplemental Intermediate Report.
The Board has reviewed the rulings made by the Trial Examiner at
the hearing and finds that no prejudicial error was committed. The
rulings are hereby affirmed. The Board has considered the Supple-
mental Intermediate Report, the exceptions, and the entire record in
this case and hereby adopts the Trial Examiner's findings, conclusions,
and recommendations?
Order
Upon the basis of the supplemental findings of fact and the entire
record in this case, and pursuant to Section 10 (c) of the National
Labor Relations Act, as amended, the National Labor Relations Board
hereby orders that the Respondent Kartarik, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota,

2 The Respondent has excepted to the Trial Examiner's recommendation that the Re-
spondent , Kartarik, Inc., and "its officers, agents, successors , and assigns " should be
ordered to make the discriminatees whole, contending that only the Respondent Corpora-
tion, and not the individual agents, officers, and assigns, should be liable for back pay.
While we agree that the agents and officers are not liable in their individual capacities
for the amounts of back pay , they are nevertheless liable in their official capacities if they
fail to comply with the terms of this Supplemental Decision and Order . As to possible

Supplemental Intermediate Report
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
On February 11, 1954, the General Counsel by the Regional Director for the Eight-
eenth Region (Minneapolis, Minnesota), of the National Labor Relations Board,
herein called the Board, issued a notice of hearing for the purpose of determining
the amount of back pay due Libo Napoli, John Suchan, and Frank Koch, under a
decision and order of the Board dated March 13, 1953, 103 NLRB 500, enforced
by a decree of the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, dated January 20, 1954.
Pursuant to the aforesaid notice, a hearing was held before the duly designated
Trial Examiner at Minneapolis, Minnesota, on March 24, 25, and 26, 1954. The
General Counsel and the Respondent were represented by counsel and the Union by
its representatives. Full opportunity to be heard, to examine and cross-examine wit-
nesses, and to introduce evidence bearing on the issues was afforded the parties. The
General Counsel and the Respondent filed briefs with the Trial Examiner.
Upon the entire record in the case, and from his observation of the witnesses, the
Trial Examiner makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Gross back pay
The parties are in agreement that the back-pay period for Libo Napoli and John
Suchan is April 17, 1952, to March 31, 1953, and that the back-pay period for
Frank Koch is April 18, 1952, to February 10, 1953. The parties disagree, however,
as to the method of computing the gross back pay so as to place these claimants in
the same position they would have been but for the discriminatory discharges. Prior
to the discrimination the Respondent operated its shop with 12 men. Beginning
immediately after the discrimination the Respondent operated with 9 men until
July 1952, when the Respondent first hired an additional man.
The Respondent contending that there was a decline in business operations after
the discharges proposes that the claimants would be made whole by dividing equally
the earnings of the employees who remained and performed similar work, among
the claimants and those employees who remained just as if all had remained in the
Respondent's employ and shared the work equally. There is no evidence of the Re-
spondent's having had a practice of sharing the work in this fashion. Although
Joseph Kartarik, president of the Respondent, testified that he had a practice of giv-
ing his men at least 40 hours work each week and would transfer skilled men to less
skilled work, such as painting or repairing machinery or even sweeping the shop to
accomplish this end, he also testified that if he had no work for a man during the
week he might send him home and not provide him with work for the remainder of
the week. The Respondent's proposal assumes either that it would have kept all its
men and paid them for a full week's work for a substantial period of time although
the men would have worked for only part of a given week, or that the men would
have accepted less than a full week's pay for a substantial period of time and re-
mained in the Respondent's employ. The Trial Examiner finds both assumptions
to be unreasonable and does not accept this proposal.
The General Counsel proposes that the back pay due be determined by paying
the claimants the amounts earned by certain comparable employees during the back-
pay period. The General Counsel urges that the conclusion that the claimants
were discharged for illegal reasons and not because of business considerations has
already been decided and is not open to further litigation at this stage of the pro-
632 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
ceeding. He contends further that , in any event , the Respondent 's failure to hire
after the discharges was brought about by the Respondent itself to support its defense
of economic justification offered in the prior hearing . The General Counsel points
to a certain subcontracting arrangement the Respondent entered into with two of its
employees during the back -pay period under which the employees were permitted
to do some of the subcontracted work at the Respondent 's plant and use some of
the machinery. There is also an admission by Joseph Kartarik that certain business
was lost to the Respondent because of its discharge of one of the claimants , Napoli,
who Kartarik explained was the only one capable of performing the work.
Whether or not cognizance is given to the Respondent 's failure to hire replacements
immediately after the discharges or its reasons for not hiring replacements , the net
back pay, if any, due these claimants is not affected . Under the General Counsel's
approach the claimants ' earnings would be based upon a relationship to the com-
parable employees who remained . If recognition were given to the Respondent's
contention of a decline in business , there would have been a reduction in force
among the comparable men to accommodate the size of the staff to the business con-
ditions and the Respondent would have terminated the services of three men, the
same number as the number of claimants involved , as the Respondent did not for
sometime after the discharges terminate any other employees or hire any new em-
ployees. Under either view the same group of comparable remaining employees is
involved.
In the Napoli and Suchan cases, the Respondent urges that the men named below
constitute the comparable group . They are listed with their service date 1 and hourly
rate of pay at the time of the discharges.
Name Service date Rate of pay
Emil Falteisek---------------------------- February 1947--------------------------------- $1 82
Libo Napoli ------------------------------- February or March 1947-----------------------
2 00
John Suchan------------------------------ May 1948------------------------------------- 2 00
Clarence La Mott------------------------- April1949------------------------------------ 2 00
Wallace Bnndamour---------------------- February 1952--------------------------------- 1 90
In the prior hearing, however, it appears from the testimony of Henry Kartarik, the
son of the Respondent's president who had immediate supervision of the employees
and who is a mechanical engineer in charge of production, development, and sales,
that it was Napoli, Suchan, La Mott, and Brindamour who had substantially the
same work experience and capabilities. This admission is corroborated by an analy-
sis of the quarterly earnings of Napoli, Suchan, La Mott, Brindamour, and Falteisek
which shows that the latter's earnings were not comparable with the earnings of the
others. Expressed as a percentage of La Mott's average weekly earnings in the first
calendar quarter of 1952, which is the last full calendar quarter of employment pre-
ceding the illegal discharges, the average weekly earnings of Napoli, Suchan, Brind-
amour,2 and Falteisek are respectively, 93.7 percent, 98.7 percent, 95.9 percent, and
74.0 percent of La Mott's earnings , Falteisek will accordingly be excluded from this
grouping.
In the Koch case the Respondent proposes and the Trial Examiner finds that the
men named below with their service dates and hourly rates of pay at the time of the
discharges constitute the proper grouping of comparable employees.
Name Service date Rate of pay
William Shonka --------------------------- January 1949 ---------------------------------- $1.66
Frank Koch ------------------------------- April 1951 ------------------------------------- 1 50
George Swanson--------------------------- December 1951 -------------------------------- 1.40
If cognizance were given to the Respondent's contention of poor business begin-
ning at the very time of the discharges-as if the Board had found that the 3 claim-
ants had been discriminatorily selected for layoff in distinction to its finding of dis-
criminatory discharges-the Respondent would have reduced its force by 3 men at
the time of the discharges because of curtailed operations. The next question which
would be presented is which members of its staff would have been laid off. Joseph
Kartarik testified in the earlier hearing that there was no established practice regard-
1 The dates given for Napoli and Brindamour will be explained in footnote 4.
2 See footnote 5 for the explanation of Brindamour's earnings in this period.
KARTARIK, INC. 633
ing selections for layoff for lack of work , there having been only two'instances in the'
past of this nature. The Respondent does, however, recognize service with the
Company in its vacation policy. Accordingly and for the reasons stated in Sifers
Candy Co.,3 the Trial Examiner would use the objective standard provided by length
of service in deciding which of the employees would have been laid off.
Under the service dates in the Napoli and Suchan group 4 they would not have
been laid off. Koch , too, would not have been laid off in his group . It thus appears
that whether or not consideration were given to the Respondent's contention relating
to its business conditions during the back-pay period, the back pay, if any, due the
claimants to make them whole would not be affected.
Gross back pay will therefore be computed on the basis of the earnings of the other
employees the claimants would have displaced or the other employees comparable
to the claimants in work qualifications and earnings during the respective back-pay
periods. The employees comparable to or the employees Suchan and Napoli would
have displaced are Brindamour and La Mott. The employee comparable to or the
employee Koch would have displaced is Swanson . The earnings records of all the
above-named individuals indicate that some variation existed in earnings ability. The
variation in earnings capacity which existed at the time of the discharges is presumed
to have continued during the back-pay period and an adjustment for this variation
will be made in the computations to allow for this variation.
The adjustment to allow for this variation will be made by ascertaining the per-
centage relationship of the average weekly earnings of the claimants to the similar
earnings of the comparable employees or the employees whom they would have dis-
placed during the first quarter of 1952 , the quarter next preceding the discharges.
With reference to Napoli , Suchan , Brindamour , and La Mott , their average weekly
earnings in the first calendar quarter of 1952 were , respectively $ 113.63 , $ 120.31,
$116.84,5 and $121 .88. The average of Brindamour's and La Mott 's average weekly
earnings in this period is $119.36 , and their average earnings during the back-pay
period will be taken as standard for measuring back pay for Napoli and Suchan. The
relationship of Napoli and Suchan to this standard in the period prior to the discrim-
ination is established by determining the percentage Napoli's and Suchan 's average
weekly earnings in the last complete calendar quarter before the discharges bear to
La Mott's and Brindamour 's average weekly earnings combined during that period.
Napoli 's average weekly earnings in the first calendar quarter of 1952 was $113.63,
and so he earned 95 .2 percent of the combined average weekly earnings of Brinda-
mour and La Mott . Suchan's average weekly earnings in the same period was $ 120.31,
and so he earned 100.8 percent of the combined average weekly earnings of Brinda-
mour and La Mott.
In Koch 's case the same procedure will be used . On the basis of their experience
and capacity it is found that as between Shonka and Swanson that Swanson is the
8 92 NLRH 1220, 1236-1240.
* Napoli was first employed by the Respondent in June 1946 and left the Respondent in
July 1950. When he returned in March or April 1951, the Respondent informed him that
he would maintain the seniority under the vacation plan he had had in July 1950. In estab-
lishing February or March 1947 , as Napoli's service date the Respondent 's petition re-
garding Napoli 's earlier employment was adopted and the period he was not employed by
the Respondent was excluded . Brindamour was first employed by the Respondent in 1936
and he left the Respondent 's employ in 1947. He was thereafter rehired in February 1952.
It does not appear that any arrangement was made by the Respondent for Brindamour's
service several years earlier.
5 Specific information is lacking as to when Brindamour was hired in the first quarter
of 1952, the record showing only that he was hired sometime in February 1952, and that
his earnings in that period amounted to $627 22 In order to make the computation of
the average weekly earnings given in the text the following method was used : The average
weekly earnings of La Mott who was comparable to Brindamour, were $121.88 and $126 25,
in the first and second calendar quarters respectively . Expressed in percentage terms
La Mott's average weekly earnings in the first quarter were 96.54 percent of his average
weekly earnings in the second quarter . Brindamour's weekly earnings in the second quar-
ter, the first full calendar quarter of employment for him, were $121.03. Assuming that
in the second quarter Brindamour 's earnings reflected an increase over those of the first
quarter similar to La Mott's, then Brindamour's average weekly earnings in the first quar-
ter would come to $116 84 (i. e., 96 54 percent times $121.03). This result is supported
by the fact that if this average weekly figure of $116.84 is divided into Brindamour's
given earnings during that quarter, $627 .22, the $627 22 represents earnings for about
51/ weeks Counting back 5% weeks from the last payroll date in the first calendar quar-
ter of 1952 , or March 28 , would place Brindamour 's hiring date in February , more par-
ticularly at about February 20.

more comparable employee or that he should be considered the displaced employee.
In the first calendar quarter of 1952, Koch's average weekly earnings was $78.09 or
109.82 percent of Swanson's average earnings of $71.11.
The following table shows the given earnings during all calendar quarters included
in the back-pay period of La Mott and Brindamour and total average earnings. The

Gross back pay will be computed for each of the claimants by multiplying the per-
centage applicable to his earnings in the calendar quarter before the discharge by the
average earnings of the displaced or representative employees, Brindamour and La
Mott in the case of Napoli and Suchan, and to the earnings of the displaced or repre-
sentative employee Swanson in the case of Koch, for the respective back-pay periods.
Since the back-pay periods do not coincide exactly with the calendar quarters, and
the earnings information has not been presented in greater detail, the amount of gross
back pay in the initial back-pay quarter for all 3 claimants and for Koch in 1 terminal
quarter will be adjusted. This will be done by prorating the portion of the back-pay
period within such quarters to the nearest week. Thus, in the initial back-pay quar-
ter, Napoli and Suchan having been discharged on April 17, they will be credited
with 112/13, of the average quarterly earnings of Brindamour and La Mott adjusted
to reflect the claimants percentage relationship to the earnings of Brindamour and
La Mott prior to the discharges. Koch who was discharged on April 18, will be
credited with 11/13 of the adjusted quarterly earnings of Swanson in the same period,
the second quarter of 1952. By agreement of the parties the back-pay period for
Napoli and Suchan ends on March 31, 1953, and hence no adjustment is necessary in
their terminal back-pay quarter. Also by agreement of the parties the back-pay
period for Koch ends on February 10, 1953, and an adjustment will be made in this
case. February 10, 1953, is 5 weeks and 1 day after the beginning of the first calendar
quarter in 1953. ' Koch is therefore credited with 5 2/13 of the adjusted earnings of
Swanson in the first quarter of 1953. The following table shows the computation of
gross back pay in accordance with the above.
Period Napoli Suchan Koch

The Respondent has had for sometime a vacation plan under which employees
receive vacation pay varying with their length of service. At the times material
employees with between 1 and 3 years of service received 1 week's pay (40 hours),
employees with 3 to 5 years' service received 11/2 weeks' pay (60 hours), and
employees with more than 5 years' service received 2 weeks' pay (80 hours).
Napoli, Suchan, and Koch have service dates of February or March 1947, May 1948,
and April 1951, respectively, and but for the discriminatory discharges would have
received, 80 hours ($168), 60 hours ($126), and 40 hours ($60), respectively,
during the third calendar quarter of 1952. These amounts will be accordingly added
9 Swanson's earnings of $633 65 in the first quarter of 1953 may be for a partial quarter.
Since the General Counsel presented the earnings figures on a quarterly basis and there is
no way of determining precisely when these amounts were earned within the quarter, the
figures given were accepted as representing earnings for a full calendar quarter.
KARTARIK, INC. 635
to the gross back-pay computations. In the Napoli and Suchan cases 10 cents was
added to their hourly rate of pay at the time of discharge in view of the fact that
La Mott and Brindamour each received a 10 cents hourly increase in April 1952.
No increase to the hourly rate at time of discharge was added in Koch's case be-
cause the record fails to show what increase, if any, Swanson received preceding
vacation time in 1952.
There are some issues as to exclusions from gross back pay for willful idleness.
The Respondent contends that Napoli was willfully idle between January 9 when
he quit certain employment at St. Paul, Minnesota, until January 27, 1953, when
he was next employed at El Segundo, California. Napoli expecting to be recalled
by the Respondent in about a month testified that he quit his employment in St. Paul
and left for California to see his mother and to obtain employment more in ac-
cordance with his skills. Napoli admitted that work closer to his skills was available
in the St. Paul area at that time. It is accordingly found that Napoli left for Cali-
fornia for reasons not connected with employment and the period from January 9
to 27, 1953, will therefore be excluded. This period covers 2 weeks and 2 days of
working time and therefore 2.4/13 of the $1,377.86, previously credited to Napoli for
the first quarter of 1953 or $254.37, will be deducted from his gross back pay for that
quarter to make this adjustment.
The Respondent also raises an issue of willful idleness as to Koch for the period
from October 29 to December 18, 1952, when Koch was unemployed. On October
29, Koch was terminated by an interim employer when operations there were re-
duced. Koch then registered with the employment service and reported there regu-
larly every 2 weeks. Koch also looked for employment 2 or 3 times a week and
checked the newspapers. When he was interviewed for employment he disclosed to
his prospective employers that he had been notified that he would serve on jury
duty for a few weeks beginning about December 1. Koch thereafter served on jury
duty and on December 18, obtained employment which he held until he was re-
called by the Respondent. The Trial Examiner does not find that Koch incurred
willful losses during this period of unemployment.
The General Counsel made no contention at the hearing that Napoli and Koch
had been improperly reinstated but contends in his brief for an addition to the gross
back pay in these cases to allow for wage increases they should have received when
they were reemployed and for a certain period thereafter. Under these circum-
stances and in view of the agreement of the parties as to the back-pay period in
each of the cases, the Trial Examiner will not recommend that this allowance be
granted.

i This total includes the amount Koch received for jury duty.
3. Expenses
Each of the claimants incurred travel expenses in the use of his car at his interim
employment in excess of the expenses which he would have had incurred had he
remained in the Respondent's employ. The parties are in agreement that 7 cents
a mile should be allowed in the cases of Suchan and Napoli, but the Respondent
contends that 5 cents a mile should be used in the Koch case because his was an
older car. It is found that 7 cents a mile is a reasonable and proper allowance for
each of the claimants.?
7 This rate corresponds with the amount allowed employees of the United States Gov-
ernment using automobiles in their official business . The amount was established by the
Congress after a comprehensive study of the actual cost of operating automobiles by Fed-
eral, State, and private agencies See pp. 3-4, Senate Report No. 428, which accompanied
the bill (H. R. 3005) that became the Travel Expense Act of 1949, P. L. 92, 81st Cong.,
1st Sess
636 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
During the back-pay period the normal workweek at the Respondent's plant was
5 days. In making the determination of the travel expenses of the claimants the
difference in number of trips and the difference in mileage to the interim employ-
ment as compared with the travel the claimants would have had had they remained
with the Respondent (allowing a full round trip for Saturdays and excluding holi-
days) will be computed in the following manner taking the third quarter of 1952 in
the Napoli case as an example:
Round-trip mileage, interim employment______________________________ 22
Round-trip mileage, the Respondent__________________________________ 6
Mileage differential ________________________________________________ 16
64 trips, weekdays (64 x 16 x 7¢)__________________________ $71.68
13 trips, Saturdays (13 x 22 x 7¢)_________________________ 20.02
91.70
The table which follows shows the additional travel expenses the claimants in-
curred as a result of the Respondent's unfair labor practices computed in the
manner described above which will be allowed as deductions from the claimants'
interim earnings in the calendar quarter shown.
