The Supreme Court has rejected a request for review by Garten Trucking on its dispute with a union. The post Garten Trucking appeal on NLRB order rejected by SCOTUS appeared first on FreightWaves .
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Gartner Trucking's request to review an NLRB order for the company to negotiate with a union seeking to represent the drivers. The Fourth Circuit had previously upheld the NLRB order, citing the company's alleged unfair labor practices that tainted the union's attempt to organize. The company, which transports paper products, faced a bitter and lengthy dispute with the union in Covington, Virginia, which rejected the union in an August 2021 vote.
The union filed unfair labor practice charges against the company following the vote, leading to a Gissel order for a new election. Despite claims from Garten Trucking that the process leading up to the election was fair, the Fourth Circuit found evidence of coercive speech and upheld the NLRB’s decision for a new vote.
