NASSAU PRINTING MACHINERY 1 Nassau Printing Machinery Co., Inc. and Carlos Mack- ey. Case 29-CA-2586 September 14, 1972 DECISION AND ORDER BY CHAIRMAN MILLER AND MEMBERS FANNING AND PENELLO On April 13, 1972, Trial Examiner John F. Funke issued the attached Decision in this proceed- ing. Thereafter, General Counsel filed exceptions and a supporting brief, and the Respondent filed cross- exceptions and a brief in support of its exceptions and in opposition to the exceptions of the General Coun- sel. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(b) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, the Na- tional Labor Relations Board has delegated its au- thority in this proceeding to a three-member panel. The Board has considered the record and the Trial Examiner's Decision in light of the exceptions and briefs and finds, consistent with Respondent's exceptions, that the complaint should be dismissed. The Board has therefore decided to affirm the Trial Examiner's rulings, findings, and conclusions only to the extent consistent herewith:' As noted by the Trial Examiner, this case in- volves "a small mom and pop machine shop which is benevolently if informally operated" by members of the Signorelli family. The Signorelli women own the stock and one or more of them perform the corporate record-keeping functions. The elder Signorelli and his two sons work at the plant and manage its day-to-day operations. The Charging Party, Carlos Mackey, is a former employee who voluntarily quit his job after a 5-year tenure and thereafter filed the 8(a)(3) charge initiating this proceeding. The complaint alleged that Respondent violated Section 8(a)(3) and (1) of the Act by failing to com- pensate Mackey in accord with the terms of its bar- gaining agreement with District 15 of the IAM because Mackey was not a member of that Union. The Trial Examiner sustained the complaint, finding that Mackey was a member of the unit and that he was discriminated against insofar as (1) no payments were made in his behalf to the union pension and welfare plans and (2) he received overtime credit at time-and-a-half, rather than the double time rate 1 In In. 2 of his Decision, the Trial Examiner inappropriately departed from the performance of his judicial functions to voice objections to the reprimand administered to him by the Board in Fotochrome, Inc., 146 NLRB 1010, In 1 , a totally unrelated case. We disavow his comments for the same reasons as were expressed in Fotochrome, supra, and by reason of their inap- propriateness here. called for by the contract. Conceding that it had not compensated Mackey nor provided benefits for him equal to those described in the contract, Respondent claimed that its sole reason for not doing so was that Mackey was not intended by either party to have been covered by the contract and that, since the exclusion was not for discriminatory reasons, Respondent is guilty of no violation of either Section 8(a)(1) or (3) of the Act. We find merit in the Respondent's excep- tions. As reflected in the Trial Examiner's Decision, the more critical evidentiary facts were depicted, in the main, by two witnesses-Michael Signorelli, the elder, and Carlos Mackey. Both of them were characterized by the Trial Examiner as "truthful" witnesses who were nonetheless "incapable of clear and coherent communication." The factual picture which emerged in large part from their testimony and in some part from other credited evidence, plainly reveals that throughout the 5-year period of his job tenure Mackey enjoyed a unique and unusual relationship with his employers of a kind not shared by Mackey's fellow workers. Mackey rented a house from Signorelli un- der an arrangement whereby Mackey's rent was de- ducted from his pay. Mackey was chauffeured to and from work by one of Signorelli's sons. Signorelli had frequent occasion to "fire" Mackey or send him home because he was too drunk to work, but always rehired him. During periods when Mackey was on absent- employee status, Mackey was nevertheless credited for hours he didn't work. During periods of on-the-job status, Mackey worked longer and different hours from those regularly scheduled for other employees. When hired, Mackey was given the job title of machinist-helper, but in fact he was assigned to do a variety of odd jobs both inside and outside the shop, including but not limited to giving machinists a hand in moving machinery from one plant to another. As appears in the record, neither the character of his work assignments nor the title given his job was ever changed throughout the course of his employment. The union contract-one dated some 3 years af- ter Mackey was initially hired-concededly excluded the machinist-helper classification. There was never a demand by the Union for his inclusion, and there is no allegation in the complaint of any 8(a)(5) violation by reason of the Union having been denied any re- quest to represent Mackey as a part of the recognized unit. The complaint and the Trial Examiner's findings appear to rest on the theory that Respondent failed to give Mackey a job title falling within the unit de- scribed by the contract but his proper job classifica- tion would put him in the unit and therefore failure to give him the contractural benefits occurred because Mackey was not a member of the Union. The Trial Examiner found the theory supported by evidence 199 NLRB No. 2 2 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD establishing that Respondent designated two other employees, whose assigned tasks were in many re- spects similar to many, if not all, of those assigned to Mackey, by job titles which brought them within the bounds of the contract unit as interpreted by the par- ties. The result was that both these employees ac- quired union membership, inasmuch as the contract contained a compulsory union-shop provision which required that employees covered by that contract had to join the Union within 30 days as a condition of continued employment. The Trial Examiner also re- lied on testimony that Signorelli once told Mackey that if he stopped coming to work drunk, he (Signorel- li) "would put Mackey in the Union." We find the Trial Examiner's rationale unpersua- sive. There is no question that Respondent treated Mackey differently than other individuals whom it employed, but there is no evidence that Respondent did so for any union-connected reason. Nor was the effect of Respondent's unequal treatment of Mackey either to encourage or discourage the exercise of his Section 7 rights. The record instead shows that Mack- ey was treated by the Employer as a nonunit employ- ee, historically and with the tacit assent of the Union, because of the personal circumstances of his employ- ment, rather than his membership or nonmembership in District 15 of the IAM. Mackey neither sought nor avoided membership, and the Union at no time ex- pressed an interest in his status. There are often em- ployees who have special status for one reason or another-the casual nature of their employment hours, their personal or family relationships to the owners, or the like-who are, by agreement, excluded from bargaining units and from contract coverage. There is nothing illegal in such arrangements, unless the exclusion is shown to have been caused for stat- utorily proscribed reasons. Nor is a different conclu- sion required by the fact that if we were asked to rule on the question in a representation proceeding or upon petition for unit clarification, the similarity of the duties of such persons to those performed by oth- ers might lead us to include such persons in a unit. Here, the only testimony that any mention had ever been made of Mackey's lack of membership in the Union was the remark of Signorelli that if Mackey stopped coming to work drunk, Signorelli "would put him in the Union." However, in context, the meaning of this remark not only fails to establish any illegal intent underlying his exclusion from contract cover- age, but instead negates such an intent. For it is clear that what Signorelli intended was that if Mackey could solve his drinking problem, he could have reg- ular employee status, so that he would be covered and get the benefits of the contract, whereupon he would be subject to the union-security clause and thus put "in the Union." If this testimony is to be afforded weight, therefore, it establishes that he was excluded from the benefits applicable to other employees be- cause of his drinking habit-a reason clearly unrelat- ed to his lack of union membership. Thus, in the absence of any proof that Mackey's exclusion from the contractual unit was discriminato- rily motivated, we find no violation of either Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(3) of the Act, and we shall dismiss the complaint in its entirety. ORDER Pursuant to Section 10(c) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, the National Labor Rela- tions Board hereby orders that the complaint herein be, and it hereby is, dismissed in its entirety. TRIAL EXAMINER'S DECISION STATEMENT OF THE CASE JOHN F. FUNKE, Trial Examiner: This proceeding was brought before the National Labor Relations Board upon: 1. A charge against Nassau Printing Machinery Co., Inc., herein Nassau or the Respondent, by Carlos Mackey filed on October 27, 1971. 2. A complaint issued by the General Counsel against Nassau alleging Nassau discriminated between union and nonunion employees in the application of the terms of a collective-bargaining contract in violation of Section 8(a)(1) and (3) of the Act, dated December 3, 1971. A hearing was held before me at Brooklyn, New York, on March 13, 1972. Upon the entire record in this case and from my observation of the witnesses while testifying, I make the following: Findings and Conclusions I THE BUSINESS OF THE RESPONDENT Nassau, a New York corporation, maintains its princi- pal place of business at Elmont, New York, where it is engaged in moving, repairing, and erecting machinery for various business enterprises. During a representative 12- month period, Nassau performs services valued in excess of $50,000 for enterprises which are located outside the State of New York or which produce and sell goods valued in excess of $50,000 annually outside the State of New York. Nassau is engaged in commerce within the meaning of the Act. II THE LABOR ORGANIZATION INVOLVED Eureka Lodge No. 434 of Distnct Lodge No. 15, and District Lodge No. 15, International Association of Ma- chinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, herein Lodge 434 and District 15, are labor organizations within the meaning of the Act. NASSAU PRINTING MACHINERY 3 III THE UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES A. Evidence 1. Background Nassau is a family-owned corporation and the shop is managed by Michael Signorelli, who has no formal title. His two sons, Michael B. and George, work at the plant as machinists. His wife Marion is president of the corporation and with the two daughters-in-law operates its office, locat- ed at 150 Central Avenue, Farmingdale, New York. Nassau and District 15 entered into a collective-bar- gaining contract (G.C. Exh. 2) which was effective from June, 1969, to May 31, 1971.1 The unit covered by this bargaining contract is described therein as: ARTICLE 1.... all Production and Maintenance em- ployees in the bargaining unit, as set forth in Article 7, Subdivision (D) of this Agreement. Article 7 (D) covers the following classifications: OUTSIDE MACHINISTS OUTSIDE LEADMEN INSIDE MACHINISTS INSIDE FOREMEN SPECIALIST (on Kelly's small automatic and job presses). INSIDE CLEANERS OUTSIDE CLEANERS This contract in addition to its wage provisions also provid- ed for: 1. Eleven paid holidays. 2. Three days sick leave with pay. 3. Ten days paid vacation for employees working 1250 hours in the past and preceding year. 4. Double time for overtime. 5. A contribution by the Employer of $35 per month for each employee to the District 15 welfare fund. 6. A contribution by the Employer of $2.40 per day to the District 15 pension plan. The contract also contained a union-security clause requir- ing all employees in the bargaining unit to become members of District 15. 2. The issues The complaint alleges Nassau refused to provide the contract benefits set forth above to employees who were not members of Lodge 434 or District 15, thereby violating Section 8(a)(1) and (3) of the Act. Nassau alleges that (1) all employees in the bargaining unit received the same benefits and (2) Mackey was not included in the bargaining unit and was not, therefore, enti- tled to the benefits. 3. The job classification of Mackey An immediate difficulty presented in reviewing the tes- timony in this case is that much of it is confused, contra- dictory and unintelligible. It is, however, free from the taint of perjury which so commonly is found in proceedings brought under Section 8(a)(1) and (3) of the Act .2 I found the witnesses truthful, but particularly with respect to Mi- chael Signorelli and Mackey, incapable of clear and coher- ent communication. Mackey testified that he started working for Nassau in 1966; that he was employed as a machinist's helper and that so far as he knew he was employed as a helper when he quit in October, 1971? Machinist's helpers were not covered by the collective-bargaining agreement. It is the contention of the General Counsel, however, that Mackey was in fact employed as a cleaner and entitled to all the rights and benefits of the contract as they applied to cleaners. Mackey received $3.43 per hour.4 Mackey further testified that he worked at taking a machine apart, keeping some parts for junk and putting some parts on the truck. He also cleaned and painted parts, worked on the truck, helped load and unload the trucks, and changed tires. He stored parts in the bins, first making sure they were clean, and ground burrs off parts. His outside work consisted of helping a machinist in moving machinery from one plant to another. This might require removing parts, loading machinery on the trucks, jacking and winch- ing the machinery, lashing it down and then when the desti- nation was reached, unloading the machinery and reassembling it. He worked with George Signorelli and Al Read, both of whom were machinists. Two other employees, Richard Prete and Abe Ward, did work similar to the work he was doing. Prete, as I understand the testimony, was a member of District 15 and Signorelli "put" Ward in. Both received the contract benefits provided for cleaners. George Cerullo, a machinist employed by Nassau, tes- tified that he had opportunity to observe Mackey at work and that he loaded the truck, polished and painted parts and that on outside jobs he would help in the loading and un- loading and the disassembling and assembly of machinery. He would always work under the guidance of a machinist and, in general, performed the same work as Prete and Ward. Joseph P. Armao, secretary-treasurer of Lodge 434, was called by Nassau and testified that it was the duty of outside and inside cleaners to clean parts, paint parts, and grind off burrs. Michael Signorelli, called by the General Counsel un- der Rule 43-B, testified that he and his sons ran the plant as "one happy family" and that each had supervisory au- thonty as defined in the Act. He hired Mackey as a laborer and helper in 1966 and stated he cleaned and stored parts, helped in loading and unloading trucks, and did general maintenance work in the shop. When he was sent out it was with a machinist whom he helped in loading and unloading 2 The Board takes a reasonably tolerant view toward perjury in its proceed- ings stating that "two witnesses may give different accounts of the same factual situation without committing perjury, because differences may rea- sonably be expected when truthful witnesses give their version of events in which they are emotionally involved."

Al- though he admitted Mackey cleaned parts he did not con- sider him a cleaner, but a helper, the same classification he applied to Prete and Ward who did the same work.' Michael R. Signorelli, the son of Michael, testified that Mackey was employed as a cleaner and a polisher and that his classification was cleaner. 4. The discrimination against Mackey The claim of discrimination rests on the alleged failure of Nassau to provide Mackey with the following contractual benefits: 1. Payments to the welfare fund and pension plan maintained by District 15.6 2. Paid holidays as required. 3. Paid vacation as required. 4. Sick leave. 5. Double time for overtime. It is, as I understand the record, conceded that no payments were made to either the welfare fund or the pen- sion plan on behalf of Mackey and that the only reason given was that he was not a member of District 15. I find no evidence that Mackey was not given the same holidays as the other employees. In fact, considering the nature of his work, it would have been impossible for him to work on days when the other employees were not work- ing. Nor is there evidence that he was not paid for these holidays. The contract called for a 37-1/2-hour week with the work day starting at 8 a.m. and ending a 4 p.m. with one- half hour for lunch. Mackey testified that he arrived at the plant at about 7:30 a.m. and frequently did not leave until 4:30 or 4:45 p.m. particularly if he was on outside work. Since there was no timeclock at the plant, his exact report- ing and quitting times cannot be established. Marion Signo- relli, president of Nassau, testified that she kept the time records and credited the men with whatever hours they gave her. She did testify that when Mackey had earned overtime it was credited at time and one-half against time which was credited to him but which he did not work.? Mackey's time sheets for 1971 B show weeks in which he did not receive full pay (presumably due to absenteeism) but show no weeks in which he received more than 40 hours. It is, therefore, im- possible to determine from the time records whether or not he was fairly credited with overtime. (The same would be true for the other employees assuming their records were kept in the same form.) The other employees were given double time credit for overtime worked. Mackey testified that during his employment in 1971 he estimated he worked 3-1/2 to 4 hours of overtime each S Prete and Ward, however, did receive the contract benefits, one of the inconsistencies nowhere explained 6 Articles 19 and 21 of the contract. An additional difficulty provided by the case is the fact that the administration of the contract was characterized by laxity if not by complete neglect . Although Mackey was employed for 5 years, he was never required tojoin District 15 and he testified that he "never seen" a union representative in that time 7 The contract required double time for overtime Mrs Signorelli testified that she credited Mackey with time and one-half instead of double time, because he was not covered by the contract 'G C. Exh No. 5 week. This is purely speculation based on the fact that he often started before 8 a.m. and worked later, but there is evidence that in the operation of this "happy plant" the other employees, including the Signorellis and Cerullo, also started before 8 and worked after 4. Cerullo testified that he, too, had his overtime credited against time he took off, which was the way he wanted it, but at double time rate. Michael Signorelli testified that he hired Mackey, fired him, or sent him home on frequent occasions because he was too drunk to work, always rehired him, and rented the house in which Mackey lived to him. (The rent was deduct- ed weekly from Mackey's pay.) Signorelli, in fact, testified that he told Mackey that if he would stop coming to work drunk, he (Signorelli) would put him in the union.' As to overtime, Signorelli's testimony agreed with that of his wife, that Mackey was credited with overtime against the time he took off. Apparently Mackey's overtime credits never ex- ceeded his time-off debits for he never received cash pay- ments for overtime. The time records also indicate that Mackey received I week's vacation in 1971. The contract required two. Mackey testified that when he asked for his vacation Signorelh told him he was not entitled to any because he was not a member of the union. Signorelli testified that he felt Mackey was not entitled to vacation pay because he was not a member of the union and gave him the 1 week's pay when he quit in October as an act of charity and to stop the argument. The records do not indicate that Mackey received any sick pay in 1971. Neither is there any evidence that Mackey was sick at any time other than Signorelli's testimony that he was sent home drunk on occasion. Signorelli did testify that Mackey was not entitled to sick pay because he was not a member of the union and also because he was not charged with the time lost through drunkeness.10 In his opening statement the General Counsel stated that he intended to prove, in addition to the other grounds of discrimination, that Mackey was not paid the contract rate for cleaners. This issue was not specifically alleged in the complaint and the only evidence in the record indicates that Mackey was paid $3.43 per hour. The contract rate was $3.23 for an inside machinist and $3.78 for an outside clean- er. What the record does not show is the basis on which Mackey's rate was computed nor the rate of pay of the two union members, Ward and Prete, who did comparable work. I do not, therefore, consider this issue fully litigated and make no finding thereon. B. Conclusions It is lamentable that this "mom and pop" machine shop, benevolently if informally operated, should fall into the tentacles of federal bureaucracy but we are confronted with the record. The General Counsel has been given an almost impossible task, in view of Nassau's recordkeeping 9 Signorelli's testimony as to Mackey's dunking was corroborated, at least in part, by Cerullo, who also testified that all the men in the shop drank. The distinction between dunking and drunkeness, however, is not a narrow one. While the former may be tolerated, the latter may not, at least on the job 10 G C Exh 5 indicates that Mackey was not paid for a full week on several occasions during 1971 but does not establish the reason. s NASSAU PRINTING MACHINERY laxities and the failure of Lodge or the District to police the contract for violations, to make a firm case. As to Mackey's proper job classification, we have no job descriptions to rely upon but only the oral testimony, not free from contradiction, of the witnesses. Nor is the Examiner helped by Mackey's testimony that he was hired as a helper and remained a helper and Michael B. Signorelli's testimony that he was a cleaner. Since I have no definition of helper to provide any criteria for Mackey's work, the sole issue is whether he could be classified as a cleaner. I find that he can, by reason of the general testimony that he assisted in the disassembling of machinery and, more particularly, that he did perform the cleaning opera- tions on machine parts and removed the burrs when re- quired.I I With respect to discrimination in his terms of employ- ment, I find Nassau engaged in such discrimination by fail- ing to make payments on his behalf to the Pension Plan and Welfare Fund and by granting him only one vacation for the year 1971 when the contract entitled him to two. Ac- cordingly, I find that in this respect, Nassau violated Section 8(a)(3) of the Act. I further find that Nassau violated Sec- tion 8(a)(3) of the Act by crediting Mackey with only 1- 1/2 hours for overtime worked instead of the contract rate of double time.12 I find that the General Counsel has not sustained his burden of proof with respect to the allegation that Nassau discriminated against Mackey by failure to grant him sick leave or to pay him for holidays, in the absence of evidence that he was denied sick pay or holiday pay. Upon the foregoing findings, I make the following: CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. By discriminating against Mackey, employed in the bargaining unit, by not making payments to the pension plan and welfare fund of District 15, by refusing to grant him 2 weeks vacation, and by crediting with 1-1/2 hours worked in overtime instead of double time, all as required by the contract between District 15 and Nassau, Nassau violated Section 8(a)(3) and (1) of the Act. 2. The aforesaid unfair labor practices are unfair labor practices within the meaning of the Act. 3. Nassau did not violate the Act by denying Mackey either sick pay or holiday pay. THE REMEDY I shall recommend that Nassau cease and desist from the unfair labor practices found above. Because an order directing Nassau to make payments to the welfare fund and the pension plan would only enrich those funds without benefit to Mackey and since direct payment to Mackey of said sums due the fund and plan would enrich him beyond his entitlement,13 no affirmative 11 This grinding is disputed but both Mackey and Michael B. Signorelh testified that he did some grinding Michael testified, in fact, that Mackey was a cleaner and polisher. 12 These facts are not in dispute. 13 Armao testified that Mackey , on his length of service, would have ac- 5 order will be recommended. I shall recommend that Nassau offer the sum of I week's pay with interest to Carlos Mackey to make him whole for the loss of I week's vacation by reason of the discrimination practiced against him. Interest on said sum to be computed from October 9, 1971, with 6 percent inter- est from said date. With respect to the loss resulting from a proper compu- tation of Mackey's overtime, I know of no formula which could be expected to provide an equitable remedy. It is true that Nassau's bookkeeping procedures are largely respon- sible for making such computation impossible, but it is also true that the employees, including the union members, ac- quiesced in its method of timekeeping and may have prof- ited by it. If one is to accept the benefits of informal working conditions, one must also accept the hazards. Upon the foregoing findings of fact, conclusions of law and upon the entire record, and pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Act, I hereby issue the following recommended:14 ORDER Respondent, Nassau Printing Machinery Co., Inc., Elmont, New York, its officers, agents, successors, and as- signs, shall: 1. Cease and desist from: (a) Refusing to make payments to the welfare fund or the pension plan maintained by District 15 as required by said contract on behalf of any employee in the bargaining unit because he is not a member of said labor organization.
