Alcoa v. NLRB

The Companies petitioned for review of the Board's determination that they constitute a single employer and that the single-employer doctrine can be used to hold them liable under Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), 29 U.S.C. 158. The court held that the Board correctly determined that Alcoa and TRACO constitute a single employer because there was substantial evidence showing common control over labor relations as well as interrelation of operations and common ownership. The court summarily enforced the Board's order with respect to liability under Section 8(a)(1) on the issues related to the exclusion of Alcoa employees from the TRACO facility and surveillance of handbilling, because the Companies do not dispute that substantial evidence supports the Board's findings. Accordingly, the court denied the petition for review and granted the Board's cross-application for enforcement. View "Alcoa v. NLRB" on Justia Law
