The National Labor Relations Board upheld the validity of 95 challenged ballots in the Union Seat Co election in Frederick Maryland and said hearings on 10 other challenges are not necessary at this time as they may not affect the outcome. The ruling largely affirms the Baltimore regional director’s prior overrules of most of the 105 challenges filed after the election.
