Summarized Board Decisions
Gimrock Construction, Inc. (12-CA17385, et al.; 356 NLRB No. 83) Hialeah Gardens, FL, January 28, 2011.
The Board adopted the administrative law judge’s recommended supplemental order which required, among other things, that the respondent bargain with the union for 16 hours a week and submit a progress report to the Regional Director every 30 days. In doing so, the Board detailed the respondent’s steadfast refusal to comply with the Board’s June 30, 2005 orders, enforced by the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, requiring it to meet and bargain with the union, to furnish the union with its requested information, and to reinstate the union strikers. The Board also upheld the gross and net backpay calculations as reasonable and ordered the respondent to provide such payment to the strikers.
Charges filed by the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 487. Administrative Law Judge Ira Sandron issued his supplemental decision November 16, 2009. Chairman Liebman and Members Pearce and Hayes participated.
