Case 19-CD-415 14 December 1984 DECISION AND ORDER BY CHAIRMAN DOTSON AND MEMBERS ZIMMERMAN AND HUNTER Upon a charge filed 16 December 1982 by Bel- lingham Division, Georgia-Pacific Corporation (the Employer), and duly served-on Local Union No :7, International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (the Respondent or ILWU), the General Counsel of the National -Labor Relations Board, by the Regional Director for Region 19, issued a com- plaint and notice of hearing' dated 24 August 1983,. an amended complaint and notice of hearing dated 28 December 1983, and a second amended com- plaint and notice of hearing dated 10 January 1984 against the Respondent, alleging that the Respond- ent had engaged in and was engaging in unfair labor practices affecting commerce within the meaning of Section 8(b)(4)(ii)(D) and Section 2(6) and (7) of the National Labor Relations Act. Copies of the charge, the complaint and notice of hearing, and the amended complaints and notices of hearing were duly served on the parties. The complaint, as amended, alleges that since about 8 August 1983 the Respondent has failed and refused to comply with the BOard's Decision and Determination of Dispute' in the underlying 10(k) proceeding, which awarded the work to the Em- ployer's employees who were represented by Local Union No. 194, Association of Western Pulp and - Paper Workers. The complaint also alleges that since about 8 August 1983 the Respondent has failed and refused to notify the Regional Director that it will comply with the above-mentioned Deci- sion and Determination of Dispute 'although it has' been afforded a fair opportunity to do so. The complaint further alleges that commenCing in Sep- tember 1981, and for subsequent unloading oper- ations since, the Respondent has filed grievances under its collective-bargaining agreement with Bel- lingham Stevedoring Co. (Bellingham Stevedor- ing), claiming "in-lieu-Or •pay from Bellingham Stevedoring for the work in dispute, and that sub- sequent to the issuance of the above-mentioned 10(k) decision the Respondent has filed new griev- ances claiming in-lieu-of pay for such work. The 267 NLRB 26 (1983) complaint alleges that an object of the above acts and conduct by the Respondent is, and has been, to force or require the Employer to assign the work described in the 10(k) award to employees of Bel- lingham Stevedoring who are represented by the Respondent rather than to the employ- ees who are represented by AWPPW. The Respondent filed an answer admitting in part and denying in part the allegations of the amended complaint and raising certain affirmative defenses. The Respondent , admits the allegations that it failed to notify the Regional Director that it would comply with the Board's 10(k) decision, but contends, that the Board lacked jurisdiction in the underlying 10(k) proceeding because the facts did not present a jurisdictional dispute within the meaning of Section 10(k) and Section 8(b)(4)(D). The Respondent also admits the allegation that it filed grievances claiming in-lieu-of pay for the work in dispute, but contends that its claims for in- lieu-of pay do not have an object proscribed by Section 8(b)(4)(D) and are not coercive within the meaning of Section 8(b)(4)(D). The Respondent further contends that the Board is without author- ity to order the Respondent to cease and desist from filing the in-lieu-of claims. On 18 January 1984 the parties filed a stipulation and ,' motion to transfer the proceeding to the Board, ,The parties agreed that the stipulation of facts, the formal papers, the transcript and exhibits from the hearing previously held in the underlying 10(k) proceeding, and the arbitrator's award in- volving the work referred to in the stipulation Of facts constitute the entire record in this case, and that no oral testimony is necessary or desired by any of the parties. The parties also waived a hear- ing before an administrative law judge and the issu- ance of an administrative law judge's decision, and stated their desire to submit the case directly to the Board for findings -of fact and conclusions of law. On 9 March 1984 the Board approved the stipu- lation, made it a part of the record, and transferred the proceeding to and continued the proceeding before the Board for the purpose of making find- ings of fact and conclusions of law for the issuance of a Decision and Order. Thereafter, the General Counsel, the Respondent, and the Employer filed briefs. The National Labor Relations Board has delegat- ed its authority in this proceeding to a three- member panel. The Board has considered the stipulation, the briefs, and the entire record, and makes the follow- ing 273 NLRB No. 58 364 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD FINDINGS OF FACT I. JURISDICTION . The Employer, a Georgia corporation, manufac- tures pulp, paper, and chemical products at its fa- cility in Bellingham, Washington, where it annually sells and ships goods and materials directly. to points outside the State of Washington valued in excess of $50,000, and purchases goods and materi- als directly from points outside the State of Wash- ington valued in excess of $50,000. We find that the Employer is engaged in com- merce Within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act and that ILWU and AWPPW are labor organizations within the meaning of Section 2(5) of the Act. II. THE UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES A. Facts The Employer receives bulk shipments of salt about 14 times a year at its dock facilities in Bel- lingham, Washington. In a typical unloading oper- ation prior to September 1981, cranes located in the hold of the ship were used to scoop the salt out and into a hopper on the dock, from where the salt was transported on a series of conveyor belts to a salt pad. At the salt pad, a shuttle conveyor was used to distribute the salt evenly over the pad. ILWU members employed by Bellingham Steve- doring operated the cranes on the ship, while the Employer's AWPPW-represented employees oper- ated the conveyor belts, including the shuttle con- veyor. Around September 1981 the Employer decided to cease using the shuttle conveyor and instead to use bulldozers on top of the salt pad during unload- ings. Following a meeting between the Employer and AWPPW officials, the Employer agreed to use its AWPPW-represented employees to operate the bulldozers. During the first unloading in September 1981, ILWU protested to Bellingham Stevedoring that under the Pacific Coast Longshore Contract Document (PCLCD), to which Bellingham Steve- doring was a party by virtue of being a member of 'the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), ILWU members should have been ordered from the dis- patch hall to operate the bulldozers used on top of the salt pad. ILWU filed a grievance under the PCLCD seeking monetary payments (in-lieu-of pay) as compensation for not getting the assign- ment of work. During all subsequent unloadings at the dock, AWPPW-represented employees contin- ued to operate the bulldozers used on top of the salt pad, and ILWU continued to file grievances or claims for in-lieu-of pay. At some point, Belling- ham Stevedoring approached the Employer about acting as a contractor for the work on top of the salt pad,- but the Employer rejected the request. Meanwhile, ILWU's grievances proceeded through the various steps of the PCLCD grievance proce- dure Until they were submitted for arbitration in late 1982. When AWPPW learned that the ILWU grievances had been referred to an arbitrator, it ad- vised the Employer by letter dated 6 December 1982 that it would "take whatever action it deter- mines is necessary—up to and including work stop- page—to assure that [the bulldozer operator] jobs remain covered by the AWPPW and its Local Union as they have in the past." On 16 December the Employer filed the instant charge alleging that both ILWU and AWPPW vio- lated Section 8(b)(4)(D) of the Act. A 10(k) hear- ing was held on 8 February 1983, and on 8 August 1983 the Board issued its Decision and Determina- tion of Dispute in which it found reasonable cause to believe that both AWPPW and ILWU violated Section 8(b)(4)(D). Regarding ILWU, the Board based its finding of reasonable cause on ILWU's filing of grievances against Bellingham Stevedor- ing. Relying on evidence that Bellingham Steve- doring had no control over the work in dispute and that ILWU members never had performed the work in dispute, the Board rejected ILWU's "work preservation" defense and found reasonable cause to believe that ILWU's grievances had an object of applying ' indirect pressure on the Employer to assign the disputed work to ILWU-represented em- ployees. On the merits, the Board concluded that the Employer's AWPPW-represented employees were entitled to perform the work in dispute based on, inter aim: the Employer's practice, assignment, and preference; relative ,skills and training; and economy and efficiency of operations. The Board also determined that ILWU was not entitled by means proscribed by Section 8(b)(4)(D) to force or require the Employer to assign the disputed work to employees represented by that labor organiza- tion. The Board's decision further ordered ILWU to notify within- 10 days the Regional Director, in writing, whether it would refrain from engaging in the proscribed conduct. -The parties' stipulation of facts indicates, that subsequent to the 10(k) hearing, but prior to the is- suance of the Board's Decision and Determination of Dispute, an arbitrator's opinion and decision issued favorable. to ILWU's position under the PCLCD. That decision, attached as an exhibit to the stipulation,. indicates that on 10 February 1983, after a hearing in which ILWU and PMA partici- pated, Washington Area Arbitrator Forrester de- cided that the dispute regarding ILWU's in-lieu-of claims turned "on the determination of control of LONGSHOREMEN ILWU LOCAL 7 (GEORGIA-PACIFIC) 365 cargo." Although noting PMA's position that Bel- lingham Stevedoring's control of the cargo ends when the cargo is dumped into the hopper on the dock, the arbitrator nevertheless found that the salt discharge operation is a continuous movement of cargo from the ship to the place of rest on the salt pad, and held: Regardless of the Agreement between Belling- ham Stevedoring Company and Georgia Pacif- ic, the [PMA] Employers are required to maintain control of the cargo in the continuous movement to sustain the integrity of the Agreement between the ILWU and the PMA as to the work to be performed by ILWU members. He therefore concluded that the "work opportunity in contention is longshore work," but further held that "time-in-lieu" 2 was not payable for ILWU's claims made prior to the issuance of his decision. The stipulation- of facts further indicates that pur- suant to the arbitrator's decision Bellingham Steve- doring and the PMA honored and paid ILWU's claims for in-lieu-of pay dated subsequent to that decision. Bellingham Stevedoring and the PMA re- fused, however, to honor ILWU's claims for in- lieu-of pay on or after the issuance date of the Board's 10(k) decision. B. Contentions of the Parties The Respondent contends, as a procedural matter, that the Bbard's finding of reasonable cause in the 10(k) proceeding is not binding in a subse- quent unfair labor practice proceeding and there- fore it is entitled to a de novo review of the com- plaint allegation that its filing of in-lieu-of claim's was violative of Section 8(b)(4)(ii)(D).3 The Re-' spondent reiterates its &intention from the 10(k) proceeding that its resort to the contractual griev- ance procedure on an issue involving work juris- diction is the agreed-on method of 'resolving dis- putes under the PCLCD and thus is not threaten- ing or coercive within the meaning of the Act. In this regard, the Respondent also reiterates that its claims for in-lieu-of pay were directed solely to Bellingham Stevedoring and the PMA, not to the Employer, and that its - purpose in making the claims was to preserve for its members a remedy 2 "Time-in-lieu" appears to be used interchangeably with "in-lieu-or for monetary claims made under the PCLCD 3 The Respondent admits that it did not notify the Regional Director that it would comply with the Board's 10(k) decision It contends, how- ever, that because it has not engaged in any conduct proscribed by Sec 8(b)(4)(n)(D) there is no basis for requinng a written assurance of compli- ance with the I0(k) decision, that there is nothing coercive or threatening about failing to send a letter, and that, even assuming that its failure to notify the Regional Director constitutes a technical violation, such con- duct does not warrant a remedial order for lost work opportunities caused by Bellingham Stevedonng's violation of the PCLCD. Finally, the Respondent contends that the Supreme Court's opinion in Bill Johnson's Restaurants v. NLRB, 103 S.Ct. 2161 (1983), precludes the Board from hold- ing that ILWU's filing of in-lieu-of claims under its contractual grievance procedure constitutes an unfair labor practice which may be enjoined. The General Counsel contends that the Respond- ent's argument that its claims for in-lieu-of pay do not constitute unlawful pressure to obtain a juris- dictional assignment was previously litigated and, in the absence of newly discovered evidence or a change in the law, should not be reconsidered in this proceeding. The General Counsel also con- tends that the instant case is controlled by Long- shoremen ILWU Local 32 (Weyerhaeuser Co.), 271 NLRB 759 (1984), which was pending before the Board at the time the instant case was transferred to the Board. The General Counsel further con- tends that the Respondent's demands for in-lieu-of pay from Bellingham Stevedoring effectively con- stitute a demand for the disputed work in violation of the 10(k) award. Finally, the General Counsel contends that the Respondent's admitted refusal to commit itself in writing to comply with the Board's 10(k) order is inconsistent with the Respondent's contention that it has not demanded the disputed work and constitutes a separate Section 8(b)(4)(D) violation. The Employer takes a position consistent with that of the General Counsel. C. Discussion As indicated above, in the Decision and Deter- mination of Dispute we found reasonable cause to believe that ILWU's filing of in-lieu-of grievances against Bellingham Stevedoring had an object of forcing or requiring the Employer to assign the dis- puted work to employees represented by ILWU and that ILWU thereby was engaging in conduct violative of Section 8(b)(4)(D). We determined that ILWU was not entitled to use proscribed means to force or require the Employer to assign the disput- ed work to members of ILWU, and we further di- rected ILWU to advise the Regional Director in writing whether or not it would abide by the 10(k) determination. In this proceeding it is undisputed that ILWU has continued to file grievances against Bellingham Stevedoring seeking in-lieu-of pay for the work at issue herein. It also is undisputed that ILWU has failed to notify the Regional Director in writing that it would comply with the 10(k) determination although, as indicated above, 4 ILWU has denied 4 See fn 3 above 366 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD that it did not comply with the 10(k) determina- tion. The Board has held that engaging in the same or similar conduct which constituted the basis for a 10(k) determination constitutes proof of noncompli- ance with the 10(k) determination. 5 Moreover, the Board has required actual performance of the writ- ten notice requirement of the determination.6, We therefore find, contrary to ILWU's denials, that ILWU has not complied with the 10(k) deter- mination. Having determined that the Respondent has not complied with the 10(k) 'determination, we turn now to the merits of the complaint allegation that ILWU, by not complying with the 10(k) determi- nation and filing in-lieu-of grievances against Bel- lingham Stevedoring, engaged in conduct violative of Section 8(b)(4)(ii)(D). In its first affirmative defense and in its brief, the ILWU seeks to place in issue the existence of a ju- risdictional dispute. A review of the record in the 10(k) proceeding indicates that this issue was raised and litigated in the 10(k) proceeding. As the Board stated in Plaza Glass, above, 7 "It is settled that issues raised and litigated in a 10(k) proceeding may not be relitigated in a subsequent unfair labor practice proceeding, alleging violations of Section 8(b)(4)(D) which are based in part on factual deter- minations made in the 10(k) Proceeding." There- fore, we find no merit in the Respondent's first af- firmative defense. In its second affirmative defense and in its brie( ILWU seeks to place in issue the Board's finding in the 10(k) proceeding that an object of its filing of in-lieu-of grievances against Bellingham Stevedor- ing was to force or require the Employer to assign the disputed work to members of ILWU. In sup- port 'of its position, ILWU reiterates its argument' from the 10(k) proceeding that its sole purpose in making the in-lieu-of claims was to pi-eserve for its members a remedy for Bellingham Stevedoring's continued violations of the PCLCD. ILWU also relies on Aibitrator Forrester's decision in its favor is further evidence. that its filing of grievances was based on a legitimate contractual claim. As we found in the 10(k) proceeding, , however, ILWU's in-lieu-of claims were for the amount'that ILWU members would have earned if they, and not the Employer's AWPPW-represented employ- ees, had been assigned the work in dispute. We also found, based on evidence that Bellingham , Steve-. doring had no control over the disputed work and 5 Iron Workers Local 595 (Bechtel Corp), 112 NLRB 812, 815 (1955) 6 Bechtel, above' at 817 See also Plumbers Local 741 (Ashton Co.), 259 NLRB 944, 946 (1982), Plumbers Local 195 (Texas Oil); 231 NLRB 525, 527 (1977), Iron Workers Local 433 (Plaza Glass), 218 NLRB 848, 849 (1975), enfd 549 F 2d 634 (9th Cu. 1977) 7 See also Teamsters 'Local445 (Blount Bros), 197 NLRB 46, 51 (1972) that ILWU members never had been assigned such work, that ILWU's grievances did not have a "work preservation" object but rather were de- signed to induce Bellingham. Steyedoring to put pressure on the Employer to reassign t,he disputed work to ILWU members. The post-10(k) hearing issuance of Arbitrator Forrester's decision does not, warrant a different finding regarding ILWU's object. Neither the Employer nor AWPPW.Partici- pated in or was bound, by that arbitration proceed- ing!' Furthermore, it is -well settled that a 10(k) de- termination by the Board takes precedence over an arbitrator's contrary .award.° Thus, although Arbi- trator Forrester's award , upheld ILWI,J's contrac- tual claims, it does not alter the facts that Belling- ham Stevedoring had no control over the work in dispute and that such work remained at all material times under the sole control of the Employer. The consequences of ILWU's conduct are also relevant to our determination of its object. It is ob- vious that Bellingham Stevedoring. will suffer eco- nomically if it is compelled to pay wages for work not performed by its employees every time a ship- ment of salt is unloaded for the Employer at the Bellingham dock. Inevitably, to avoid the continu- ing imposition of such a wage liability, Bellingham Stevedoring would cease doing business with the Employer or otherwise exert pressure on the Em- ployer to force or require the Employer to change its assignment of work.1° In these circumstances, we find , that ILWU, has used the filing of in-lieu-of grievances under the PCLCD as an economic device against Bellingham Stevedoring with an object of forcing or requiring the Employer to assign the disputed work to ILWU members." We further find that ILWU's conduct in filing the in-lieu-of grievances amounted to prohibited economic coercion." Therefore, we reject ILWU's second affirmative defense. 8 Thus, even if the arbitrator's, award had Issued prior to the 10(k) hearing, or if It had been brought to the Board's attention while the 10(k) decision was pending, the Board would have afforded it little or no weight in determining the. dispute 9 Carey v Westinghouse Corp, 375 U S (1964) See also Auto Workers v.

We also conclude that, by filing new in-lieu-of grievances after the issuance of the Board's 10(k) determination and failing to notify the Regional Di- rector in writing that it would comply with the 10(k) determination, ILWU has failed to comply with the Decision and Determination of Dispute and thereby has continued to engage in conduct violative of Section 8(b)(4)(ii)(D).1 3 Finally, regarding ILWU's third affirmative de- fense that, based on the Supreme Court's decision in Bill Johnson's, above, the Board is without au- thority to enjoin it from filing its in-lieu-of claims, we find that the Board's recent decision in Weyer- haeuser is controlling. In Weyerhaeuser, the Board rejected the respondent's argument that Bill John- son's compelled a stay of the 8(b)(4)(D) proceed- ings until such time as the courts resolved the re- spondent's Section 301 suit seeking time-in-lieu payments pursuant to an arbitration award. 14 Rely- ing on Carey v. Westinghouse, above, the Board found that the Section 301 suit, "which seeks to en- force an arbitration award contrary to the Board's 10(k) award and also seeks to achieve a prohibited objective," lacked a reasonable basis in fact and law and therefore did not require a stay of the unfair labor practice proceedings. Based on the same reasoning, we reject the Respondent's third affirmative defense and shall order the appropriate injunctive relief. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1.
