Summarized Board Decisions
IronTiger Logistics, Inc. (16-CA-027543; 366 NLRB No. 2) Kansas City, MO, January 9, 2018.
Upon remand from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the Board reversed its previous decision (362 NLRB No. 45 (2015), aff’g. 359 NLRB 236 (2012)), and found that the Respondent did not violate the Act by failing to timely respond to the Union’s request for information. Given the Administrative Law Judge’s unexcepted-to finding that on the day after requesting the information the Union conceded that all of the information sought was irrelevant, the Board concluded that the Respondent was not obligated to do anything more. It, therefore, vacated its prior Order and dismissed the complaint.
Charge filed by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO. Administrative Law Judge George Carson II issued his decision on May 6, 2011. Chairman Kaplan and Members Pearce and McFerran participated.
