Court Denies NLRB Order in Baltimore Union Election
A 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused to enforce an NLRB order forcing Graphic Arts Finishing Co. to bargain with a union after finding that circulars distributed before the Sept. 22, 1964 election falsely claimed higher union pay scales and strike benefits. The court ruled such misrepresentations could have materially affected the outcome, and thus the NLRB decision was not enforceable.
