DECISION AND ORDER
BY CHAIRMAN FANNING AND MEMBERS
JENKINS AND MURPHY
On July 1, 1977, Administrative Law Judge James
T. Youngblood issued the attached Decision in this
proceeding. Thereafter, Respondent filed exceptions
and a supporting brief.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(b) of the
National Labor Relations Act, as amended, the
National Labor Relations Board has delegated its
authority in this proceeding to a three-member panel.
The Board has considered the record and the
attached Decision in light of the exceptions and brief
and has decided to affirm the rulings, findings,' and
conclusions of the Administrative Law Judge and to
adopt his recommended Order, except that the
remedy is modified so that interest is to be computed
in the manner prescribed in Florida Steel Corporation,
231 NLRB 651 (1977).2
ORDER
Pursuant to Section 10(c) of the National Labor
Relations Act, as amended, the National Labor
Relations Board adopts as its Order the recommend-
ed Order of the Administrative Law Judge and
hereby orders that the Respondent, Fleming Building
Co., Inc., Tulsa, Oklahoma, its officers, agents,
successors, and assigns, shall take the action set forth
in the said Order, except that the attached notice is
substituted for that of Administrative Law Judge.
I The Respondent has excepted to certain credibility findings made by
the Administrative Law Judge. It is the Board's established policy not to
overrule an Administrative Law Judge's resolutions with respect
to
credibility unless the clear preponderance of all of the relevant evidence
convinces us that the resolutions are incorrect. Standard Dry Wall Products,
Inc., 91 NLRB 544 (1950). enfd. 188 F.2d 362 (C.A. 3. 1951). We have
carefully examined the record and find no basis for reversing his findings.
In the first paragraph of sec. Ill, A, of his Decision, the Administrative
Law Judge found that all four employees observed the picket line on May
24, 1976. Examination of the record, however, reveals that only two
employees, Tate and Leed, noticed the line on May 24 but that all four
employees discussed it. In the same paragraph of his Decision, the
Administrative Law Judge inadvertently noted that the picket line was on
the project on "March 25, 26 and 27" and that employee Merrell returned to
the site from a hospital appointment on "March 27." In both instances, the
dates should refer to the month of May.

Act, but denied the commission of any unfair labor
practices. All parties were represented by counsel at the
hearing and the General Counsel and Respondent filed
posthearing briefs which have been duly considered.
Upon the entire record, and my observation of the
witnesses and their demeanor, and the briefs filed herein I
make the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
I. JURISDICTION
The Respondent is, and has been at all times material
herein, a corporation duly organized under the laws of the
State of Oklahoma, with its office and principal place of
business located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where it is engaged in
the construction business. During the past 12 months,
which period is representative of all times material herein,
Respondent, in the course and conduct of its business
operations, purchased and received goods valued in excess
of $50,000 directly from suppliers located outside the State
of Oklahoma.
Upon these admitted facts, I find that the Respondent
has been at all times material herein an employer engaged
in commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of
the Act.
II. THE LABOR ORGANIZATION INVOLVED
The Respondent admits, and I find, that the Internation-
al Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 584 (herein the
Union), is and has been, at all times material herein, a
labor organization within the meaning of Section 2(5) of
the Act.
III. THE ALLEGED UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES
The Facts
At the time of the events involved in this proceeding the
Respondent was engaged in the construction of a metal
building for Burgess-Norton Company at Claremore,
Oklahoma. On May 24, a Monday, the Union placed a
picket line on the project protesting a nonunion contractor
or nonunion employees being on the jobsite. The four
ironworkers who were then working on the construction
site for Respondent observed this picket line and discussed
it among themselves. However, as the picket line was
placed on the project after the ironworkers came to work
that morning they decided to work the rest of the day. The
picket line was on the project on March 25, 26, and 27.
Again, as the picket line was not up when the ironworkers
came to work, they worked on the 25th and the 26th. On
March 27 Ronald Gene Merrell, the Iron Worker's
steward, was returning from the hospital, where he had
received a treatment for his back, and saw the picket line at
approximately 11:55. He stopped and talked to the pickets
and informed them that he was going into the site to call
his business agent for instructions. He called the business
agent and was informed that it was a legal picket line. He
then informed the other ironworkers that it was a legal
picket line and that he' was not going to work behind it.
Merrell then informed George Allen, the job superinten-
dent, that there was a legal picket on the job and that he
was not going to work behind it. There was some
discussion about the establishment of a separate gate but
Allen refused to establish a separate gate and according to
Still and Merrell, Allen informed the group that he did not
feel they were worth it and if they gave him any more
trouble he would get some other men to complete the job.
Whereupon the steward, along with Harvey Lee Tate,
Tommy Leon Still, and Louis M. Leeds, left the jobsite and
went to the picket line. After about 10 to 15 minutes they
were informed by the pickets that they were leaving
because the nonunion electrical contractor or electrician
had left the site and they were taking down the line. The
four ironworkers then returned to work and worked the
rest of the day.
After the men returned to work, steward Merrell went to
the project trailer to advise Allen that they had done so.
When he arrived at the trailer Allen was on the telephone
with Wasserman, Respondent's erection superintendent,
and Wasserman requested to speak to Merrell. According
to Merrell, Wasserman told him "that he was getting tired
of me walking off the job and taking the men with me, that
he just wasn't going to stand for it." Merrell also testified
that he told Wasserman that this would not have happened
if he had put up a separate gate for their use.
According to Wasserman, Allen had called him to advise
him that the ironworkers had honored the picket line and
that Allen did not think they needed to replace them.
While the conversation was going on, Allen informed
Wasserman that the ironworkers were coming back on the
job and the steward was headed for the trailer. Wasserman
asked Allen to put the steward on the phone. When the
steward got on the phone Wasserman said, "what's
happening?" and the steward informed him that they had
honored the picket line. Wasserman replied, well that is
fine, if I need more people I will talk to the business agent
because we have an agreement that he will try to supply us
replacements. Wasserman denied that he said anything to
Merrell about his taking the men off the job or that he was
tired of this and he simply would not stand for it.
The four ironworkers worked the remainder of the day
on May 27, and reported for work the next day at around 7
o'clock in the morning. According to the testimony of
steward Merrell, he and Still started rolling out their mesh
wire getting ready for a concrete pour. At about 9 o'clock
they were approached by General Foreman Tom Deerdoff,
who had two checks in his hand. Deerdoff informed them
that "this is for walking off the job yesterday and not
crossing that picket line." Merrell responded "Yeah, it's
about the picket deal for sure." Then Deerdoff said
"Yeah," and threw his hands back and said "I didn't say
that." Merrell testified that Still was the only person within
hearing distance of this conversation. He testified, how-
ever, that about 20 to 30 feet away, the laborers, carpenters,
and Foreman Ronnie Johnson were making the pour from
the concrete truck. In explaining why he and Still were
away from the concrete pour, he stated they had gone to
get a drink of water and were coming back when they were
approached by Deerdoff and handed their checks. Because
of the distance, the concrete truck making so much noise
and the shoveling and talking of the laborers there was no
309
DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
way anyone but he, Still, and Deerdoff could hear the
conversation.
Ronnie Still testified that when Deerdoff gave them their
checks on the morning of May 28, he and Merrell had been
pulling mesh wire for concrete pour, and that they were
about 20 to 30 feet away from where the pour was actually
taking place when they were approached by Deerdoff.
When Deerdoff handed them their checks Merrell said, "Is
this for honoring the picket line yesterday?" Deerdoff
responded, "Yes" and jumped back and threw up his hands
and said, "But I didn't say it." Like Merrell, Still testified
that there was no one within 20 to 30 feet of this
conversation and, because of the noise, the men that were
engaging in the pouring of concrete could not have heard
this conversation.
Louis Leeds testified that, on the morning of May 28, he
was working with Harry Tate on top a little office which is
part of the building. They were working on the roof of this
little office putting up sheeting girts3 for the siding of the
main building when Deerdoff approached and handed
them their checks. Deerdoff stated "Louis, I just hate it has
to end this way." Leeds responded, "I guess that's just the
way the ball bounces." Tate testified that Deerdoff said
"I'm sorry" and to the best of his recollection he did not
hear him say anything more.
After the four employees received their paychecks they
noticed that each check had some shortage of hours. They
proceeded to the office of the construction site and
discussed this matter with George Allen. The steward
called the Iron Workers business agents on the phone who
came to the construction site almost immediately. Accord-
ing to Merrell, Allen called Wasserman and told him that
the checks were short and Wasserman requested to speak
to Merrell because he was the steward on the job.
Wasserman informed Merrell that he was tired of him
trying to make a big show out of everything and he was
getting very tired of him. Wasserman said that he would
fire everybody that was working for Fleming Construction
if he had to pay the men for the time that they were
shorted. He denied however that they were shorted.
It was shortly after this that the Iron Workers business
agents showed up on the job, and after a telephone
conversation between the business agents and Wasserman
the men were finally paid through 12 noon on Friday, May
28.
The Respondent's witnesses testified that the four
ironworkers were laid off for lack of work, and that there
would have been no need to discharge them for observing
the picket line because they had an arrangement with the
Union whereby they could easily have obtained replace-
ment ironworkers. In support of the position that the
employees were discharged for lack of work the Respon-
dent's witnesses testified that on the construction of this
building it was what is called a design and build job.
Meaning that the main building, the outside structure, is
constructed and placed under roof, however, the inside of
the building, that is the flooring, machinery locations, and
the various things that go inside the building are done on a
design-and-build basis. In this connection, as the building
I As I understand, sheeting girts are the studs or partitions to which the
actual siding is attached.
progresses the Respondent would design additional por-
tions and submit them to the owner for authorization.
Until an authorization for a design is received the
Respondent cannot schedule the work. The testimony
indicated that each Thursday they received authorization
from the owner Burgess-Norton and, if they did not receive
any authorization for additional work and there was no
prior authorization work scheduled, the men would have to
be laid off. The testimony also indicated that even though
work was authorized, if it had not been scheduled it could
not be performed. Thus, once work is authorized, Respon-
dent would have to schedule the work and get the
necessary materials and men for the job. The testimony
further indicated that the Respondent's decision to termi-
nate these men was made on May 20 but, because they
could not get their sheeting crew from another jobsite to
work the following week, there was sufficient work for one
more week for these four ironworkers. Thus this prevented
their layoff on Friday, May 21.
To explain the odd time of day for a layoff, that is 9 a.m.,
the Respondent's testimony indicated that they had a
complicated check system which was done by computer.
The story goes that the workweek ends on Tuesday, which
appears to be a fact, and the timecards are pulled
Wednesday morning and are put in the computer at noon
on Wednesday. Once the timecard information is put in the
computer it cannot be changed, and the checks do not
come out until about 2 or 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
which is too late to be distributed to the men on thejobsite
by quitting time of that day. And as it is necessary to pay
the men off when they are laid off, the Respondent felt that
it had to have the men back on the job the next day, when
their computerized checks would be available. Any
additional money they had earned for Wednesday, Thurs-
day, and Friday morning was paid by separate check,
handwritten or typewritten. 4 Thus, when they were dis-
charged on Friday, May 28, the men were given the
computerized check for their week through Tuesday, and a
separate check for the hours they had worked on Wednes-
day, Thursday, and Friday morning. As indicated above
there was a discrepancy in the handwritten checks which
was ultimately resolved in favor of the employees and they
were paid through Friday noon.
At the time of their discharge all four employees were
actively performing work and there was work left for them
to complete. Their testimony indicates that there was still
more concrete pours to be made, that the building had to
be sheeted, and that the girters which hold the sheeting had
not been placed completely around the building. It was
obvious that these employees could do the girting work
because two of them were doing this at the time of their
termination. The employees also testified that they could
do the sheeting as well as the sheeting crews and that there
was a flume to be finished. Respondent admits that certain
of this work was still available but that it could easily be
performed by General Foreman Deerdoff. Deerdoff testi-
fied that he did complete the concrete pour and the flume
by himself. There is no question but that there was work
for these men to do at the time of their layoff, and that
I It is permissible to write a separate check for material that has not been
put in the computer.

there was additional work to be done on this building
because the ironworkers' work was still being done on
November 4, 1976, at the time of this hearing.
Discussion and Conclusions
It is clear in this record that at no time prior to the
termination of the four employees on May 28 did
Respondent inform them of any impending layoff. In fact,
the record reflects that there was not even a hint of a
possible layoff. While the Respondent's witnesses testified
that there was consideration of a layoff on May 20 to take
place on May 21, which did not happen, they admit that
they did not inform the four employees of this layoff.
Prior to honoring the picket line established by the
IBEW the four employees, included steward Merrell,
visited George Allen and requested him to establish a
reserve gate for their use so that they would not have to
cross the picket line. According to the credited testimony
of Still and Merrell,5 Allen informed the group that he did
not feel that they were worth it and that if they gave him
any more trouble he would get some other men to complete
the job. When the men returned to work, Merrell went to
the office trailer where Allen was talking to Wasserman on
the telephone. Wasserman requested to speak to Merrell.
According to the credited testimony of Merrell, Wasser-
man told him that he was getting tired of him walking off
the job and taking the men with him, that he just was not
going to stand for it. Merrell explained that if Respondent
had put-up a separate gate they would not have walked off
in the first place. Again Wasserman repeated that he did
not think they were worth it.
The following morning Still and steward Merrell were
working on the job of rolling out and pulling wire mesh in
preparation for a concrete pour. They had left the pour for
the moment to get a drink and on their way back they were
met by Deerdoff. According to the credited testimony of
both Still and Merrell, Deerdoff handed them their checks
and informed them that this was for walking off the job the
day before and not crossing the picket line. After this
statement, he threw up his hands, jumped back and said "I
didn't say that." Merrell informed him that it was too late,
that he had already said it. When Deerdoff approached the
other two ironworkers he was more cautious, apparently
realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, he informed
these two employees that he was sorry that it happened. He
made no mention of the picket line or the reason why they
were being terminated. In my view this is sufficient to make
a finding that the Respondent discharged these four
employees for their concerted protected activity the day
before in honoring the picket line set up by the IBEW.
However, the Respondent claims that these men were
laid off for lack of work because this was a design-and-
build project and as no work was authorized on Thursday
there was a lack of work on Friday and the employees had
to be laid off. Additionally the Respondent contends that
they could not lay the men off on Thursday evening at
quitting time, because they must pay the men in full when
I have credited the testimony of Still, Merrell. Tate, and Leeds because
it had a ring of truth. The testimony of Respondent's officials on matenal
points did not have such a nng of truth. Moreover, the testimony of the four
ironworkers is logically consistent and I cannot say that about the facts as
related by Respondent's officials.
they lay them off, and because of their intricate computer-
ized check system it was impossible to get the checks to
them until the following morning. The testimony of the
majority of Respondent's witnesses was to the effect that
they did not need these employees the following day but
merely had them come in so that they could be paid off.
However, the testimony of George Allen, the supervisor
directly responsible for the construction job, is that he did
have work for them for 2 hours on Friday. Moreover it is a
fact that all four ironworkers actually worked 2 hours on
May 28, and there was more work on the job, such as
building the flume, finishing the concrete pour, and putting
up the girts that hold the wall sheeting, which Leeds and
Tate were doing at the time of their discharge. Additional-
ly, there was siding to be put up, but according to
Respondent that was to be done by a sheeting crew who
was then working on another job. According to the
credited testimony of the four ironworkers they were
capable of performing the work that was left on the job.
Additionally, Merrell testified that he was also a welder
and could have welded the flume which I understand was
performed by foreman Deerdoff. Certain of Respondent's
witnesses testified that they contemplated a layoff as early
as May 20, because of lack of work. Wasserman testified
that on May 20, he contacted Allen by phone and talked to
him about laying off the ironworkers. Allen informed him
that "he needed to keep them to get some of this work done
around the flume and the surrounding areas." Allen
informed Wasserman, however, that they could lay them
off Friday night May 21, provided that they could get the
sheeting crew moved to the jobsite the next week but if they
could not get the sheeting crew, the ironworkers would
have to be retained for at least one more week. Wasserman
said he contacted Allen and Sellers because he was under
the impression that there was only enough work for the
general foreman and that they did not need the other men,
as they did not have any other authorizations for further
work. Because they could not get the sheeting crew there,
they continued to need men for another week.
Foreman Deerdoff testified that on Thursday, May 20,
there was additional work authorized and that he was
informed of this authorization by George Allen on Friday,
May 21. This testimony is contrary to the testimony of
Wasserman and the other company witnesses. This is also
one more reason why I have not credited the Respondent's
witnesses in the elaborate explanation for the layoff and
the timing of the discharges.
It is inconceivable to me that fate could set up a set of
circumstances as alleged here by the Respondent,
to
coincide so precisely with the desires of four ironworkers
who simply honored a picket line set up by another local
union.
Whether the Respondent's testimony that this construc-
tion was a design and build contract and that they could
not go ahead without further work authorizations is true or
not 6 is not controlling here because foreman Deerdoff
testified there was additional work authorized on May 20,
6 I note that Respondent never sought to put its contract with Burgess-
Norton into evidence to establish this fact, nor did it call any witness from
Burgess-Norton to support this fact.
311
DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
which certainly would be available for the men on May 28.
Moreover, the record is replete with testimony that there
was work still to be done on the jobsite, such as putting up
sheeting girts, pulling mesh wire for the concrete pours,
installing the flume, and the building of another small
building which was inside the main building. Additionally,
it is noted that ironworkers were still working on Novem-
ber 4, 1976, the date of this hearing.
I also cannot accept Respondent's explanation for the
timing of the discharge, that is at 9 a.m. on Friday, merely
because of a computerized check system. It seems to me
that a check could have been written Thursday evening, if
in fact there was a lack of work, and the computer could
have been corrected at a later date. Such an explanation to
me is completely implausible.
Under all the circumstances of this case it is my
conclusion that the Respondent discharged Ronald Gene
Merrell, Harvey Lee Tate, Tommy Leon Still, and Louis
M. Leeds, on May 28, for the simple and sole reason that
they engaged in concerted protected activity the day before
by honoring the picket line of the IBEW. It is clearly
established that employees have a right to honor the picket
lines of other unions and this right is protected. Although
this right is protected this right must be weighed against the
business needs of the employer. Therefore in such situa-
tions the employer has a right to replace the employees for
legitimate business reasons. This clearly is not the situation
here for Respondent contends that these employees were
laid off for lack of work and in fact it had no business need
for the employees. Therefore, I find and conclude that the
discharge of the four ironworkers is clearly violative of
Section 8(a)(3) and (1) of the Act.
IV. THE EFFECT OF THE UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES
UPON COMMERCE
The activities of Respondent set forth in section II1,
above, occurring in connection with operations described
in section 1, above, have close, intimate, and substantial
relationship to trade, traffic, and commerce among the
several States, and tend to lead to labor disputes burdening
and obstructing commerce and the free flow of commerce.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. Fleming Building Co., Inc., is an employer engaged
in commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of
the Act.
2.
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
Local 584, is a labor organization within the meaning of
Section 2(5) of the Act.
3.
By discriminatorily discharging Ronald Gene Mer-
rell, Harvey Lee Tate, Tommy Leon Still, and Louis M.
Leeds, and failing and refusing to reinstate them because of
their union and protected concerted activities, Respondent
has engaged in unfair labor practices within the meaning of
Section 8(a)(3) and (1) of the Act.
4.
The aforesaid unfair labor practices affect commerce
within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act.
7 In the event no exceptions are filed as provided by Sec. 102.46 of the
Rules and Regulations of the National Labor Relations Board, the findings,
conclusions, and recommended Order herein shall. as provided in Sec.
THE REMEDY
Having found that Respondent has engaged in unfair
labor practices in violation of Section 8(a)(3) and (1) of the
Act, I shall recommend that it be ordered to cease and
desist therefrom and take certain affirmative action
designed to effectuate the policies of the Act.
Having found that Respondent violated Section 8(aX3)
and (I) of the Act by discriminatorily discharging Ronald
Gene Merrell, Harvey Lee Tate, Tommy Leon Still, and
Louis M. Leeds, and failing and refusing to reinstate these
employees, I shall order Respondent to offer immediate
and full reinstatement to their former jobs or, if those jobs
are not available, to a substantially equivalent position,
without prejudice to their seniority or other rights and

they may have suffered as a result of the discrimination
against them, by payment to them of a sum of money equal
to that which they normally would have earned as wages
from May 28, 1976, to the date of Respondent's offer of
reinstatement, less any net earnings during that period,
with backpay and interest thereon to be computed in the
manner prescribed in F. W. Woolworth Company, 90 NLRB
289 (1950) and Isis Plumbing & Heating Co., 138 NLRB
716 (1962).
