In the Matter of E. A. LABORATORIES, INC., and UNITED AUTOMOBILE, AIRCRAFT AND AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT WORKERS OF AMERICA, C. I. O. LOCAL 844 and INTERNATIONAL UNION, UNITED AUTOMOBILE, AIRCRAFT AND AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT WORKERS OF AMERICA, C. 1. 0. October 24,1919 AMENDED DECISION AND ORDER October 24,1949 On July 14, 1947, Trial Examiner Charles W. Schneider issued his Intermediate Report in the above-entitled proceeding, finding that the Respondent had engaged in and was engaging in certain unfair labor practices,' and recommended that it cease and desist therefrom and take certain affirmative action, as set forth in the Intermediate Report. The Trial Examiner also found that the Respondent had not engaged in other unfair labor practices alleged in the complaint and recommended dismissal of those allegations. Thereafter, the Respondent, the Union, and the attorney for the Board filed exceptions to the Intermediate Report and supporting briefs.2 On November 23, 1948, the Board issued its Decision and Order in this proceeding in which it found that the Respondent had engaged in and was engaging in certain unfair labor practices and dismissed the complaint with respect to allegations of other unfair labor prac- tices. Matter of E. A. Laboratories, 80 N. L. R. B. 625. On September 15, 1949, the Board issued a Notice to Show Cause, stating that, unless on or before September 26, 1949, proper cause to the contrary were shown, the Board would issue, as its Amended Decision and Order, a Proposed Amended Decision and Order attached thereto. Thereafter, the Respondent filed its Reply to Notice to ' The provisions of Section 8 (1), (2), (3 ), and (5 ) of the National Labor Relations Act, which the Trial Examiner found were violated , are continued in Section 8 (a) (1), (2), ( 3), and (5) of the Act, as amended. 2 Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 (b) of the Act, as amended , the National Labor Relations Board has delegated its powers in connection with this case to a three-member panel [Chairman Herzog and Members Houston and Gray]. 86 N. L. R. B., No. 121. 711 712 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD Show Cause. We have considered the Respondent's contentions set forth in its reply and find that they are without merit. The Board hereby issues the following as its Amended Decision and Order in this proceeding : 1. The Respondent contends that the 1944 strikers are not entitled. to back pay because the strikers breached the no-strike clause of the contract by engaging in the strike and the strike was not caused by any unfair labor practice or breach of contract on the part of the- Respondent. We find it unnecessary to determine the cause of the 1944 strike or to pass upon the question as to whether the strike constituted. a breach of the contract for the reasons hereinafter indicated. In any event, as the Trial Examiner found, whether or not the strikers had been discharged, by its agreement to reinstate the strikers on Novem- ber 10, 1944, the Respondent waived or condoned the strikers' alleged misconduct in engaging in the strike, and, on the next day the Re- spondent refused to reinstate the strikers who appeared for work at the plant pursuant to the agreement, although their jobs were then vacant.3 Moreover, prior to November 10, 1944, as the Trial Examiner found, the Respondent discharged only the union officials and certain more active union members and not the remainder of the striking employees; on the contrary, it had repeatedly offered them reemploy- ment with full seniority rights, provided that they abandoned the Union and their leaders. Under these circumstances and at that time, namely, November 10, 1944, no further condonation was necessary as to them because the Respondent's willingness to continue their em- ployee status and reemploy them constituted a prior waiver of the Respondent's privilege to discipline them for their alleged misconduct. Apart from the waiver or condonation of November 10, 1944, there- fore, the Respondent waived or condoned the alleged misconduct of the strikers by repeatedly recognizing and treating them as having employee status long after the commission of the alleged misconduct. Therefore, when Union Representative Newman, in the criminal pro- ceedings, told Judge Liebowitz that, "we had done so once before 3 The Trial Examiner found that the strikers refused to return to work unless the Re- spondent recognized the Union and that the Respondent declined to reinstate the strikers unless they abandoned the Union as their current bargaining representative. Ile further found that the 1944 strike was caused, in part, by the Respondent's violation of Section S- (5) of the Act. This violation consisted of making unilateral changes in working condi- tions and of adopting an arbitrary attitude in dealing with the Union's grievance com- mnittee. Even if we assume, arguenido, that the 1944 strike was caused, in part, by the- Respondent's violation of Section 8 (5) of the Act, we are of the view that, by refusing to return to work unless the Respondent recognized the Union, the strikers did not thereby require removal of a cause of the strike as part of the price for its termination. The Union was recognized as the statutory bargaining representative at the time of the out- break of the strike. Thus, in refusing to reinstate the strikers unless they returned with- out the Union as their bargaining representative, the Respondent unlawfully refused to- recognize the Union and thereby sought to impose a new and illegal condition upon rein- statement of the strikers. E. A. LABORATORIES, INC. 713 [that is, attempted to return to work] and that we were only too. anxious and glad to repeat it again," the fair intendment of his state- ment is that he referred to his efforts to get the union leaders and more active union members back to work, and not merely those whom the Respondent had already indicated it was willing to take back. Ac- -cordingly, we conclude that when President Auferio announced that "these people can come back to work," he referred to the same group .of employees as had Newman; that, at that point, the Respondent waived its prior discharge of these union leaders and more active union members, and, like the remainder of the striking employees, they .became undischarged strikers whom the Respondent was bound to :reinstate upon unconditional application; and that the Respondent's refusal to do so on November 111 1944, when they applied for reinstate- ment, was therefore unlawful. Under all the circumstances, we agree with the Trial Examiner that the Respondent refused to reinstate -the 1944 strikers on November 11, 1944, because of their union member- ship and activities, and not because of any alleged misconduct on their part, and that the Respondent thereby discriminated in regard to their hire and tenure of employment to discourage membership in the Union. Accordingly, we will direct that back pay for the 1944 strikers begin to run on November 11, 1944, and not on October 25, 1944, as the Trial Examiner recommended. 2. Like the Trial Examiner, we find that the strike of August 28, 1945, was caused by the Respondent's unfair labor practices. About October 12, 1945, the Union voted to abandon the strike and advised the striking employees to seek reinstatement to-their jobs. Some of the strikers were reemployed ; others who applied were discrimina- torily denied employment. A third group, for various reasons, failed to apply. The Trial Examiner, by recommending that these strikers be reinstated upon application, in effect determined that the strike was still current as to them, and that their employee status continued despite the lapse of time and the position taken by the Union. How- ever, for reasons stated hereinafter, we need not determine whether these strikers still retain their employee status, or whether the strike is still current. The record shows that many of the strikers here involved did not reapply in October 1945, because they believed that such applications would be futile. Although we do not know why the others who did not testify did not reapply, we cannot, in the present state of the record, disentangle the various reasons which may be applicable. As the Trial Examiner stated, all strikers who did not reapply may still be interested in returning to work for the Respond- ent. However, in view of the unfair labor practices found, there is grave danger that the Respondent will not reemploy these strikers if 714 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD they apply, even though their former or substantially equivalent posi- tions are open. In order to effectuate the policies of the Act, and to remedy the unfair labor practices committed by the Respondent, we shall require the Respondent to offer reinstatement, upon application, to those strikers who have not heretofore applied for reemployment, if such employment is available for them. In view of the length of time which had elapsed at the time of the hearing since abandonment of the strike without such applications having been made, we do not thereby require the Respondent to displace any employee hired after August 28, 1945, to provide employment for those strikers who did not apply for reinstatement prior to the date of the hearing herein. Those strikers for whom no such employment is immediately available at the time of application shall be placed upon a preferential hiring list with priority determined among them by such system of seniority or other procedure as has heretofore been followed by the Respondent, and shall, thereafter, in accordance with such list, be offered employ- ment in their former or substantially equivalent positions as such employment becomes available, and before other persons are hired for such work. In the event that the Respondent hereafter fails or refuses to reinstate any such striker in the manner stated above, the Respond- ent shall pay him back pay for the period from the date employment becomes available for such striker to the date of offer of reinstatement. In the event that any such striker applied for reinstatement between the date of the hearing and the date of the issuance of our Amended Decision and Order, and the Respondent failed or refused to reinstate such applicant although employment was available for him at the time, the Respondent shall be required to pay him back pay from the date of such refusal to reinstate to the date of offer of reinstatement.' 3. Joseph Stanco, Gaspar Russo, Ignazzio Chiappone, and Gilbert Scandale testified that they did not desire reinstatement as of approxi- mately August 1, 1946, February 1, 1946, December 25, 1945, and August 12, 1946, respectively. In view thereof, we shall not direct their reinstatement or placement upon a preferential list, as the case may be, and shall award them, except Russo, who did not apply for reinstatement, back pay for the period from the date when the Respondent discriminated against each of them, to the date on which each decided to reject reinstatement, respectively.5 In addition, we 4 The Respondent shall also place upon the preferential hiring list as described above, without further application, any striker who applied for reinstatement between the date of the hearing and the date of issuance of this Amended Decision and Order, for whom no job was available when the application was made, and shall offer such strikers employ- ment in their former or substantially equivalent positions as such employment becomes available, and before other persons are hired for such work. 5 These dates , as well as others , do not appear in the record . These dates can be ascer- tained in compliance proceedings if the parties are unable to reach agreement. E. A. LABORATORIES, INC. 715 shall require the Respondent to pay back pay to Joseph Stanco, Ignaz- zio Chiappone, Gilbert Scandale, and Gaspar Russo, from November 11, 1944, the date when the 1944 strikers were refused reinstatement, to the date of their reinstatement. 4. Patsy Dearado testified that he did not desire reinstatement after the 1945 strike unless the Respondent granted him a pay in- crease. In view thereof, we shall not direct his reinstatement and shall award him back pay for the period which elapsed from the time that the Respondent refused to reinstate him until the date on which he decided not to accept reinstatement unless the Respondent in- creased his pay. In addition, we shall require the Respondent to pay him back pay from November 11, 1944, to the date of his rein- statement after the 1944 strike. 5. The record contains a statement by the Board's attorney that he was advised by Egon Sorenson, one of the strikers whom the Re- spondent refused to reinstate during the 1945 strike, that he did not 'desire reinstatement. Accordingly, we shall not require the Respond- ent to reinstate Sorenson; however, the Respondent shall be required to pay Sorenson back pay from the date of refusal to reinstate him to the date when he decided to reject reinstatement. 6. Nicholas Cusanelli returned to work after the 1945 strike but quit a short time thereafter because of dissatisfaction with his earn- ings. Accordingly, we shall not reinstate Cusanelli and shall award him back pay for the period from November 11, 1944, to the date of his reinstatement and for the period which elapsed from the date that the Respondent refused to reinstate him, following the 1945 strike, to July 1, 1946, when he returned to work for the Respondent. 7. Unlike the Trial Examiner, we do not find that the Respondent -violated the Act by vilifying the Union and its officers or by com- -pelling employees against their will to attend the July 3 meeting in the plant. 8. Sometime after the Respondent refused to bargain collectively in 1945, the International revoked the charter of Local 844, took over its assets, and assumed its liabilities.6 Because the Trial Examiner was of the opinion that Local 844 would be reestablished in the future, he recommended that the Respondent be required to bargain with the International and Local 844, with the proviso, however, in the event Local 844 was not reestablished, that the Respondent "may petition for modification of the order when it is prepared to comply with it." We shall not require bargaining with Local 844 inasmuch as it has no d So far as appears, no certification covering the Respondent's employees has ever is- sued. The International and Local 844 were parties to the last contract with the Re- spondent. 716 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD legal existence . Under the circumstances, in order to effectuate the policies of the Act, we shall direct the Respondent, upon , request, to^ bargain collectively with the International.' AMENDED ORDER Upon the entire record in the case, and pursuant to Section 10 (c) .of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, the National Labor Relations Board hereby orders that the Respondent, E. A. Laborato- ries, 'Inc., Brooklyn, New York, and its officers, agents, successors, and assigns shall: 1. Cease and desist from : (a) Discouraging membership in International Union, United Automobile, Aircraft and Agricultural Implement Workers of Amer- ica, C.

I. 0., or any other labor organization, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in con- certed activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mu- tual aid or protection, as guaranteed in Section 7 of the Act. 2. Take the following affirmative action, which the Board finds will effectuate the policies of the Act : (a) Unless already reinstated, offer to the employees named in Ap- pendix A hereto, Groups I and II, immediate and full reinstatement to their former or substantially equivalent positions without prejudice to their seniority and other rights and privileges, in the manner set 7 We base our order directing the Respondent to bargain upon the last refusal to bargain collectively in 1945, as found by the Trial Examiner , and not upon any refusal to bargain which occurred prior thereto.

Reason- able steps shall be taken by the Respondent to insure that said notices are not altered, defaced, or covered by any other material; (g) Notify the Regional Director for the Second Region in writing, within ten (10) days from the date of this Order, what steps the Respondent has taken to comply herewith. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the complaint be, and it hereby is dismissed, insofar as it alleges that the Respondent discriminatorily discharged Marie Traynor and Frank Pravata.
