Gua d Guild. Case 22-CA-9502
September 9, 1980
DECISION AND ORDER
On Ma 9, 1980, Administrative Law Judge
Edwin H. Bennett issued the attached Decision in
this proceeding. Thereafter, the Respondent filed
exceptions, the General Counsel filed exceptions
and a brief, and the Respondent filed an answering
brief.
The Board has considered the record and the at-
tached Decision in light of the exceptions and
briefs and has decided to affirm the rulings, find-
ings, and conclusions of the Administrative Law
Judge and to adopt his recommended Order, as
modified herein.
We find merit in the General Counsel's exception
to the failure of the Administrative Law Judge to
order the Respondent to mail a copy of the notice
to all of its security guards at their home addresses.
The Administrative Law Judge's recommended
Order provides that the Respondent post a remedi-
al notice only at its Lawrenceville, New Jersey, fa-
cility.
The security guards work at approximately 25
different facilities throughout the State of New
Jersey and they report daily to the facility to
which they have been assigned. They do not regu-
larly visit the Respondent's Lawrenceville facility.
The security guards receive their paychecks and
are notified of all personnel matters by a supervisor
at their place of work, or through the mails. We
conclude that mailing of the notices to the security
guards at their home addresses would be the most
and, in fact, only effective means of reaching the
employees involved herein. Accordingly, we shall
modify the recommended Order to include a provi-
sion for mailing the notice to all security guards at
their home addresses.
ORDER
Pursuant to Section 10(c) of the National Labor
Relations Act, as amended, the National Labor Re-
lations Board adopts as its Order the recommended
Order of the Administrative Law Judge, as modi-
fied below, and hereby orders that the Respondent,
Wells Fargo Guard Services, a Division of Baker
Protective Services, Inc., Lawrenceville, New
Jersey, its officers, agents, successors, and assigns,
shall take the action set forth in the said recom-
mended Order, as so modified:
Substitute the following for paragraph 2(b):
"(b) Mail a copy of the attached notice marked
'Appendix ' to all security guards at their home
252 NLRB No. 13
addresses, and post copies at its facility in Lawren-
ceville, New Jersey. Copies of said notice, on
forms to be provided by the Regional Director for
Region 22, after being duly signed by a representa-
tive of the Respondent, shall be mailed or posted,
as appropriate, immediately upon receipt thereof.
The posted notices shall be maintained for 60 con-
secutive days thereafter, in conspicuous places, in-
cluding all places where notices to employees are
posted. Reasonable steps shall be taken to insure
that said notices are not altered, defaced, or cov-
ered by any other material."
DECISION
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
EDWIN H. BENNETT, Administrative Law Judge: This
case was heard at Newark, New Jersey, on November
26, 1979.1 The charge and amended charge were filed on
September 18 and October 9, respectively. Respondent
admits receipt of said charges on September 28 and Oc-
tober 10, respectively.2
The first amended complaint, which is the operative
document herein, was issued on October 22, as part of an
Order consolidating the instant case with Case 22-CA-
9175. This latter case was severed by an order of the Re-
gional Director for Region 22, on November 23, thus
rendering moot a motion for partial summary judgment
in that case filed by Respondent and referred to the Ad-
ministrative Law Judge for ruling by Order of the Board
dated November 26. The complaint before me alleges in
essence that Respondent unlawfully refused to recognize
and bargain with the United Security Guard Guild,
herein called the Guild, notwithstanding that on July 20,
the Guild was certified as the exclusive collective-bar-
gaining representative of Respondent's guards employed
at its Lawrenceville, New Jersey, office. Respondent
concedes the issuance of said certification but asserts
that, for various reasons, it was improperly issued. It ad-
mittedly is refusing to bargain in order to obtain a
review of the representation proceedings which culmi-
nated in said certification.s
All dates are in 1979 unless otherwise stated.
2 Although Respondent admits receipt, it does not admit service of the
documents on September 19 and October 9, respectively, as alleged in the
complaint. With respect to the amended charge, the affidavit of service
does establish that it was served by registered mail on October 9, as al-
leged. However, with respect to the charge, there is no proof submitted
by the General Counsel to establish that it was served in any manner on
September 19. Accordingly, I deem Respondent's admission that it re-
ceived the charge on September 28, as proof of its service on or about
that same date The dates of the filing and service of the charge and
amended charge have no bearing on any of the issues involved herein
I At the hearing Respondent candidly stated its view that the case
could have been handled by way of a Motion for Summary Judgment
filed with the Board by the General Counsel. The General Counsel. on
the other hand, asserted that he was proceeding by way of a hearing in
order to permit Respondent an opportunity to litigate its affirmative de-
fenses raised by the answer. However, at such time as Respondent sought
to introduce its evidence, the General Counsel objected on the ground
that Respondent was seeking to relitigate the representation proceedings

DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
Upon the entire record,4 and after due consideration
of the statements of position made during the hearing by
the General Counsel, Respondent, and the Guild, I make
the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. JURISDICTION
Respondent maintains various places of business in the
State of New Jersey where it is engaged in the business
of providing security guard services including a location
at Lawrenceville, New Jersey, the only facility involved
in this proceeding.
During the calendar year 1978, Respondent provided
security guard services valued in excess of $50,000 in
States other than the State of New Jersey. Respondent
admits, and I find, that it is an employer engaged in com-
merce within the meaning of Section 2(2), (6), and (7) of
the Act, and that the Guild is a labor organization within
the meaning of Section 2(5) of the Act.
II. THE ALLEGED UNFAIR LABOR RACTICES
A. The Representation Proceedings
As earlier indicated the sole issue involved in this pro-
ceeding is whether or not a certification which had
issued to the Guild in Case 22-RC-7744 was valid. Re-
spondent contends the Regional Director and the Board
acted erroneously in granting the certification based on
the evidence and legal arguments previously submitted.
Moreover, it asserts that new evidence has come to its
attention subsequent to the issuance of the certification
which warrants reconsideration of the various decisions
made by the Board in the representation proceedings.
Therefore, a review of those proceedings is appropriate.
On December 28, 1978, the Guild filed a petition seek-
ing an election in a unit consisting of all the security
guards employed by Respondent at its Lawrenceville,
New Jersey, location. The petition was signed by Robert
F. O'Brien, attorney, whose law firm has represented the
Guild throughout these proceedings. The hearing on that
petition was conducted on January 12. Although the
transcript of that proceeding is rather voluminous and
was not made a part of the record herein, all parties con-
ceded at the hearing before me that one of the issues liti-
gated in that hearing was whether or not the Guild was
disqualified from representing a unit of guards by virtue
of Section 9(b)(3) of the Act because of its alleged affili-
ation with a nonguard union. In support of that position,
Respondent litigated numerous arguments including a
contention that one Harry J. Martin controlled the
Guild, was its chief operating officer, and in fact was its
alter ego. It further was contended by Respondent that
Martin, as a member of the Retail Clerks union, was the
4 Respondent filed a motion, dated December 19, to correct the tran-
script in various respects. On January 14, 1980, the General Counsel filed
an unopposed response to that motion in which he proposed certain
modifications to Respondent's proposed corrections. Respondent's motion
as modified by the General Counsel's response is granted and the two
documents are received in evidence as Resp. Exh. 9 and 9(a). In addition,
the transcript, p. 12, 1. 1, further is corrected to change the letters "DD
and E" to "D and D of E." These initials stand for "Decision and Direc-
tion of Election."
bridge by which the Guild had an impermissible affili-
ation with the Retail Clerks. That argument was pursued
at the representation hearing and evidence was adduced
by Respondent with respect thereto, as well as with re-
spect to other alleged contacts between the Guild and
the Retail Clerks. Respondent urged upon the Regional
Director that the evidence warranted a conclusion that
the two unions were affiliated, thus disqualifing the
Guild from representing guards.
On January 22, the Regional Director for Region 22
issued a Decision and Direction of Election in which,
inter alia, an election was ordered in a unit of all full-
time and regular part-time security guards employed by
Respondent at its Lawrenceville branch excluding all
office clerical employees, casual employees, managerial
employees, professional employees, field inspectors, and
all other supervisors as defined in the Act.5 In that Deci-
sion, the Regional Director also rejected Respondent's
contention that the Guild was barred by Section 9(b)(3)
of the Act from being certified for the appropriate unit.
In doing so, the Regional Director considered the var-
ious contentions raised by Respondent including its asser-
tions regarding Harry J. Martin. It is noted that although
the Decision does not refer to Martin by name, it does
refer to two officers of the Guild who also were mem-
bers of other unions. Respondent acknowledged before
me that one of those unnamed officers was Martin. The
Decision further provided that a request for review
thereof could be had by filing such request with the
Board in Washington, D.C., by February 5. Respondent
failed to avail itself of this opportunity to seek review of
the Regional Director's Decision.
A mail ballot election was conducted between Febru-
ary 16 and 28. A tally which issued disclosed that of 172
eligible voters, 120 ballots had been cast of which 54
were cast for representation by the Guild and 62 were
against such representation. In addition, there were four
challenged ballots.
On March 6, the Guild filed timely objections to the
election. One of the objections asserted that Respondent
had wrongfully interfered with the election by distribut-
ing a facsimile of the Board ballot.
On March 23, the Regional Director for Region 22
issued a Supplemental Decision, Order, and Direction of
Second Election, finding, inter alia, merit to the Guild's
said objection and ordering a new election. That Deci-
sion further provided that review thereof could be had
by filing such a request with the Board in Washington,
D.C., by April 5. Respondent did file a request for a
review of that Supplemental Decision which request was
denied by the Board on April 19.
A second mail ballot election was conducted between
April 17 and 30. The tally which issued with respect to
that election shows that of 165 eligible voters 67 voted
for representation by the Guild, 59 voted against such
representation, there were 4 challenges and 2 void bal-
lots. On May 7, Respondent filed its timely objections to
the conduct of the second election. Two of those objec-
tions dealt with allegations relating to Harry J. Martin's

connections to the Guild. It was asserted by Respondent
that on April 4, Martin had falsely advised the unit em-
ployees that he had resigned his position in the Guild. In
support, Respondent relied on a newspaper article dated
May 4, in which Martin was referred to as a Guild con-
sultant. This evidence was presented to the Regional Di-
rector during the investigation of Respondent's objec-
tions. Respondent further contended that Martin had
failed to disclose to the employees the identity of those
individuals responsible for the functioning of the Guild,
thus misleading employees about the Guild's true identi-
ty. Respondent's request for a hearing on its objections
was denied.
On July 20, the Regional Director for Region 22, fol-
lowing an administrative investigation, issued a Second
Supplemental Decision and Certification of Representa-
tives in which, inter alia, no merit was found to any of
Respondent's objections. That Second Supplemental De-
cision provided that a request for review could be had
by filing same with the Board in Washington, D.C., by
August 2. Respondent filed its request for review which
was denied by the Board by telegraphic order issued on
September 20. In addition to the evidence previously
submitted to the Regional Director in support of its ob-
jections, Respondent also asked the Board to consider
additional evidence (considered below) which it mailed
to the Board on September 18. According to the records,
the Board received this additional evidence on Septem-
ber 26, and consequently it was rejected as untimely
filed.
B. The Refusal To Bargain
On July 19, the Guild, by its counsel O'Brien, request-
ed that Respondent meet with it to negotiate an agree-
ment. Inasmuch as the request for review was yet pend-
ing, Respondent made no reply to the request. On Sep-
tember 10, the Guild, by its self-styled advisor, Harry J.
Martin, requested that Respondent furnish it with a list
of guards employed at the Lawrenceville branch. It is
this September 10 request which was in mailgram form
that Respondent sought to bring to the Board's attention
on September 18. And it is this request by Martin which
forms the basis for the allegations in the complaint that
Respondent is refusing to furnish a list of unit employees
to the Guild upon a request by that organization dated
September 10. On September 21, the Guild again wrote
to Respondent requesting a meeting for the purpose of
conducting collective-bargaining negotiations. On Octo-
ber 4, Respondent replied to the previous request for
bargaining and information and addressed the reply to
Harry Martin. In that reply, Respondent stated that it be-
lieved the Guild had not been freely chosen by the em-
ployees, that the certification had been unlawfully issued,
and "that as is necessary in order to contest the lawful-
ness of such Certification, Wells Fargo will not bargain
with you as the representative of its employees."
C. The Unfair Labor Practice Hearing
Respondent is aware of the well-settled rule that in the
absence of newly discovered or previously unavailable
evidence or special circumstances a respondent in a pro-
ceeding alleging a violation of Section 8(a)(5) is not enti-
tled to relitigate issues which were or could have been
litigated in a prior representation proceeding. 6 Respond-
ent, in the hearing before me, conceded that it had no
issues, positions, or arguments to advance which had not
previously been made in the representation proceedings
but that it did have evidence not previously available to
present in support of its contentions which would war-
rant reconsideration by the Board of its earlier decisions
leading to the certification. An examination of Respond-
ent's two affirmative defenses appearing in its answer to
the complaint illuminates this matter.
First, Respondent contends the certification is invalid
because of the false assertion made to employees and the
Board that Martin had severed his connection with the
Guild. This defense, it will be recalled, is identical to one
of the objections to the second election filed by Re-
spondent on May 7. The second affirmative defense as-
serts that the Guild, by virtue of its affiliation with a
nonguard union is disqualified by Section 9(b)(3) of the
Act from being certified as the bargaining representative
for a unit of guards. This is identical to the position
taken by Respondent at the initial hearing on the peti-
tion. Moreover, both defenses deal with Martin's connec-
tion to the Guild, for according to Respondent, it is
through Martin and other unnamed, unknown, and
hidden individuals that the forbidden link exists between
the Guild and Retail Clerks. 7 Respondent reasoned that
the fradulent assertion concerning Martin's purported
severance of his connections with the Guild not only
was deceitful, thus impacting on the election, but also
proved that other persons, presumably officials of non-
guard unions, controlled the Guild.
Notwithstanding Respondent's artful argumentation
the question remains whether or not it was prepared to
offer newly discovered or previously unavailable evi-
dence in support thereof. To this end, Respondent
sought to call as its witness Robert F. O'Brien, the attor-
ney of record for the Guild throughout these proceed-
ings. Respondent offered to prove through O'Brien that,
as recently as November 20, Martin was in active control
of the Guild's affairs because on that date O'Brien ad-
mitted as much in a conversation with John F. Cannon,
Respondent's attorney herein. In addition, Respondent
claimed it could furnish new evidence through materials
subpenaed by it from the Guild, from Martin, from
Local 1371 Retail Clerks Union, and from O'Brien in his
capacity as attorney for both the Guild and Local 1371.
With respect to the subpenas served on the Retail Clerks
and on the Guild, they sought various records relating to
the identity of those individuals serving as officers, trust-
ees, or officials of the Guild subsequent to January 12.
e See Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. v. N.L.R.B., 313 U.S. 146, 162 (1941);
Rules and Regulations of the Board, Secs. 102.67(f) and 102.69(c).
Respondent was asked whether or not it contended there was any
other nonguard union with which the Guild allegedly was affiliated Al-
though Respondent could not suggest the identity of any other such
union, it stated its position to be that the Board has an affirmative obliga-
tion to establish the nonexistence of a forbidden affiliation once the issue
has been raised. I reject this position as without legal merit, and conse-
quently an evidentiary hearing at the unfair labor practice stage of the
case to explore this allegation of affiliation is unwarranted
57
DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
The subpena served on Martin similarly requested var-
ious records establishing the identity of individuals acting
on behalf of the Guild in various capacities but without
limitation as to date. The subpena directed to Mr.
O'Brien sought his records relating to correspondence
with the Guild and Retail Clerks reflecting on the names
of individuals acting for or on behalf of the Guild. Re-
spondent conceded that in the representation case hear-
ing on the petition it had not subpenaed records of the
kind now sought in the case at bar, and it offered no ex-
planation for its failure to do so. And, it will be recalled
Respondent did not seek review of the Regional Direc-
tor's decision in that case in which, inter alia, Respond-
ent's contention that the Guild was affiliated with a non-
guard union was found to be without merit.8
The mere fact that Respondent framed its subpenas to
the Guild and to the Retail Clerks in terms of records
subsequent to January 12 (the date of the original repre-
sentation case hearing) does not save these subpenas, or
the examination of the witnesses pursuant thereto, from
the rule against relitigation. Respondent emphasized that
if it had been permitted to conduct an examination pursu-
ant to its subpenas it would have been able to unmask
the true controlling forces of the Guild. This lack of
knowledge, however, is not the legal equivalent of newly
discovered or previously unavailable evidence. Reduced
to its essentials, Respondent's position is a disguised at-
tempt to conduct the kind of investigation it could have
engaged in at the initial hearing on the petition for it
does not even suggest that post January 12, records
would differ in any significant or meaningful way from
records prior to that date. To escape this obvious conclu-
sion, Respondent argues that post-certification events
would illuminate the correctness of its position. Once
again, however, to permit such unending inquiry effec-
tively would result in a circumvention of the rule barring
relitigation of common issues. The net result of Respond-
ent's position then is that it claims compliance with the
intent of the rule by offering "newly discovered" or
"previously unavailable" evidence at the expense of the
very rule itself.
Respondent's position is tantamount to an attempt to
continually file objections to an election for an indefinite
period which, if allowed, would result in the uncertainty
and lack of finality in the election procedures that the
Board continually condemns. 9 Respondent's position is
particularly lacking in merit based as it is on the most
nebulous, speculative, and inconsequential of claims.
Thus, Respondent's objections to the second election
raised the contention of improper affiliation by the Guild
with a nonguard union through Martin's role in the two
unions. In its defenses raised in this proceeding one of
the prongs of its attack with respect to the alleged mis-
representation concerning Martin's severance from the
Guild is that this has a direct bearing on whether or not
the Guild had a Section 9(b)(3) affiliation with a non-
' Sec. 102.67 (f) of the Board's Rules and Regulations provides that the
failure to request review precludes relitigation in any related subsequent
unfair labor practice proceedings of any issue which was or could have
been raised in the representation proceeding with the same force as if
review had been denied.

guard union. The only "new" support offered in connec-
tion with the defense was the conversation between law-
yers Cannon and O'Brien and the single piece of evi-
dence previously proffered to the Board in its request for
review and rejected as untimely filed. In view of the
foregoing, I conclude that no newly discovered or previ-
ously unavailabe evidence has been offered by Respond-
ent, nor has it asserted the existence of any special cir-
cumstances warranting reexamination of the Board's de-
terminations in the representation proceeding.
The request of the Guild to bargain and its request for
information, and Respondent's refusal to bargain and its
refusal to furnish the information, all are admitted. It
being established that the Guild is the certified bargain-
ing representative and as there are no issues to be litigat-
ed or to be resolved by a hearing, I hereby make the fol-
lowing further findings:
1. The following employees of Respondent constitute a
unit appropriate for collective-bargaining purposes
within the meaning of Section 9(b) of the Act:
All full-time and regular part-time security
guards employed at Respondent's Lawrenceville,
New Jersey, office, but excluding all office clerical
employees, casual employees, managerial employ-
ees, professional employees, field inspectors and all
other supervisors as defined in the Act.
2. Between the dates of April 17 and 30, 1979, a ma-
jority of employees of Respondent in said unit, in a
secret-ballot election conducted under the supervision of
the Regional Director, Region 22, designated the Guild
as their representative for the purpose of collective bar-
gaining with Respondent.
3. On July 20, 1979, the Guild was certified as the col-
lective-bargaining representative of the employees in said
unit and the Guild continues to be such exclusive repre-
sentative within the meaning of Section 9(a) of the Act.
4. Commencing on or about July 19, 1979, and at all
times thereafter, the Guild has requested Respondent to
bargain collectively with it as the exclusive bargaining
representative of all the employees in the above-de-
scribed unit.
5. Commencing on or about September 10, 1979, and
at all times thereafter, the Guild has requested that Re-
spondent furnish it with a list of the names and addresses
of the employees in the above-described unit.
6. Commencing on or about October 4, 1979, and con-
tinuing at all times thereafter to date, Respondent had re-
fused, and continues to refuse, to recognize and bargain
with the Guild as the exclusive representative for collec-
tive bargaining of all employees in said unit, and to fur-
nish the Guild with the names and addresses of the em-
ployees in said unit.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
By refusing to recognize and bargain with the Guild as
the exclusive collective-bargaining representative in the
appropriate unit described above and by refusing to fur-
nish the Guild with the names and addresses of employ-
ees in said unit, Respondent has engaged in unfair labor

practices affecting commerce within the meaning of Sec-
tion 8(a)(5) and (1) and Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act.
THE REMEDY
Having found that Respondent has engaged in and is
engaging in unfair labor practices within the meaning of
Section 8(a)(5) and (1) of the Act, I find it necessary to
order that it cease and desist therefrom, and, upon re-
quest, bargain collectively with the Guild as the exclu-
sive representative of all employees in the appropriate
unit, and, if an understanding is reached, embody such
understanding in a signed agreement. Further, it will be
recommended that Respondent furnish to the Guild the
names and addresses of all employees in the said unit.
In order to insure that the employees in the appropri-
ate unit will be accorded the services of their selected
bargaining agent for the period provided by law, I rec-
ommend the initial period of certification be construed as
beginning on the date Respondent commences to bargain
in good faith with the Guild as the recognized bargain-
ing representative in the appropriate unit. See Mar-Jac

Upon the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of
law, upon the entire record, and pursuant to Section
10(c) of the Act, I hereby issue the following recom-
mended:
