Abstract
Petitioners-cross-respondents Beverly Enterprises, Inc., Beverly Health and Rehabilitation Services, Inc., and Beverly Enterprises — Connecticut, Inc. d/b/a Greenwood Health Center petition for review of a decision and order of the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") affirming a decision by an Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ"). Respondent-cross-petitioner National Labor Relations Board, by its General Counsel ("General Counsel"), petitions for enforcement of the same decision and order. The NLRB determined that petitioners had engaged in unfair labor practices prior to a representation election, in violation of section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"), 29 U.S.C. § 158(a)(1). It found (1) that by revealing existing benefits previously concealed, petitioners actually conferred benefits upon employees for the purpose of coercing them to vote against unionization; (2) that petitioners promised an across-the-board wage increase to discourage unionization; and (3) that petitioners solicited a grievance during the union organizational campaign, promised to resolve that grievance, and satisfied that promise. Based on these findings, the NLRB ordered petitioners to cease and desist from the unfair labor practices, post notices of the order and conduct a new election.
For the reasons that follow, we grant the petition for review insofar as the order directs petitioners to cease and desist from unfair labor practices and to post notices.
