GEORGE UTLEY
ORDER
On March 19, 2010, Administrative Law Judge Earl E. Shamwell, Jr. of the
National Labor Relations Board issued his Decision in the above-entitled
proceeding and, on the same date, the proceeding was transferred to and
continued before the Board in Washington, D.C. The Administrative Law Judge
found that the Respondent has engaged in certain unfair labor practices, and
recommended that it take specific action to remedy such unfair labor practices.
On April 15, 2010, Counsel for the General Counsel, the Charging Party,
and the Respondent filed a joint motion requesting that the Board issue an Order
adopting the judge’s decision with minor modifications to the Judge’s proposed
Notice to Employees. The motion is granted, and a new notice shall be
substituted for the one issued by the judge. Accordingly,
Pursuant to Section 10(c) of the National Labor Relations Act, as
amended, and Section 102.48 of the National Labor Relations Board Rules and
Regulations, the Board adopts the findings and conclusions of the Administrative
Law Judge as contained in his Decision, and orders that the Respondent,
Western States Envelope Company, its officers, agents, successors, and
2
assigns, shall take the action set forth in the recommended Order of the
Administrative Law Judge.
Dated, Washington, D.C., December 1, 2016.
