MV TRANSPORTATION, INC.
and Case 28-CA-173726
AMALGAMATED TRANSIT UNION
LOCAL #1637, AFL-CIO, CLC
ORDER APPROVING STIPULATION, GRANTING MOTION,
AND TRANSFERRING PROCEEDING TO THE BOARD
This matter comes before the National Labor Relations Board upon a joint motion of
Respondent MV Transportation, Inc., Charging Party Amalgamated Transit Union, Local #1637,
and the General Counsel to waive a hearing and decision by an administrative law judge, and to
transfer the proceeding to the Board for a decision based on the stipulated record.
On August 10, 2016, the General Counsel issued a complaint and notice of hearing
alleging that since about May 24, 2013, and at all material times, the Respondent has recognized
the Union as the exclusive collective-bargaining representative of employees in the bargaining
unit. The complaint further alleges that on about March 26, 2016, the Respondent instituted five
policies affecting the unit employees’ terms and conditions of employment without first
bargaining with the Union to impasse, in violation of Section 8(a)(5) and (1). The complaint
further alleges that on about March 26, 2016, the Respondent failed to continue in effect all the
terms and conditions of its collective-bargaining agreement with the Union by implementing
without the Union’s consent, as required by Section 8(d), five other policies related to the unit
employees’ terms and conditions of employment, in violation of Section 8(a)(5) and (1).
