Summarized Board Decisions

New Jersey State Opera  (22-CA-029526; 360 NLRB No. 5)  Newark, NJ, September 30, 2013.

The Board granted the Acting General Counsel’s Motion for Default Judgment pursuant to the noncompliance provisions of a settlement agreement.

The Board found that the Respondent failed to comply with the terms of the settlement agreement by refusing to fully remit back wages owed to its unit employees and refusing to remit dues on behalf of its unit employees to the Union in violation of Section 8(a)(5) and (1). The Board ordered the Respondent to honor and comply with the terms and conditions of the collective-bargaining agreement with the Union by paying unit employees the unpaid contractual wages and to make the unit employees whole for any loss of earnings and other benefits suffered as a result of the Respondent’s unlawful conduct.  In addition the Board ordered the Respondent to reimburse the unit employees in an amount equal to the differences in taxes owed upon receipt of a lump-sum backpay payment and taxes that would have been owed had there been no discrimination against them, and to submit the appropriate documentation to the Social Security Administration so that when backpay is paid, it will be allocated to the appropriate periods.  Further, the Board ordered the Respondent to remit contractual dues on behalf of its unit employees to the Union.

Charge filed by American Federation of Musicians, Local 16. 

Chairman Pearce and Members Miscimarra and Hirozawa participated.
