September 30, 2015
DECISION AND ORDER
BY CHAIRMAN PEARCE AND MEMBERS MISCIMARRA
AND MCFERRAN
The General Counsel seeks a default judgment in this
case on the ground that Distler Corporation (Respondent
Distler Corporation), Sierra Masonry Corporation (Re-
spondent Sierra), Distler Construction Co., Inc. (Re-
spondent Distler Construction), and Gulf State Construc-
tion Company d/b/a Distler Construction Co. (Respond-
ent Gulf State) (collectively, the Respondent) have failed
to file an answer to the complaint. Upon a charge filed
on August 28, 2014, and amended on October 29, 2014,
and April 17 and23, 2015, by Bricklayers and Allied
Craftworkers Local 8—Southeast, International Union of
Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, AFL–CIO (the Un-
ion), the General Counsel issued a complaint on June 30,
2015, against the Respondent, alleging that it has violat-
ed Section 8(a)(5), (3), and (1) of the Act. The Respond-
ent failed to file an answer.
On August 3, 2015, the General Counsel filed with the
National Labor Relations Board a Motion to Transfer
Proceedings to the Board and for Default Judgment.
Thereafter, on August 5, 2015, the Board issued an order
transferring the proceeding to the Board and a Notice to
Show Cause why the motion should not be granted. The
Respondent filed no response. The allegations in the
motion are therefore undisputed.
The National Labor Relations Board has delegated its
authority in this proceeding to a three-member panel.
Ruling on Motion for Default Judgment
Section 102.20 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations
provides that the allegations in a complaint shall be
deemed admitted if an answer is not filed within 14 days
from service of the complaint, unless good cause is
shown. In addition, the complaint affirmatively stated
that unless an answer was received by July 14, 2015, the
Board may find, pursuant to a motion for default judg-
ment, that the allegations in the complaint are true. Fur-
ther, the undisputed allegations in the General Counsel’s
motion disclose that the Region, by letter sent by email
and certified mail to their business addresses of record,
advised each of the Respondents that unless an answer
was received by July 22, 2015, a motion for default
judgment would be filed. Nevertheless, the Respondent
failed to file an answer.
In the absence of good cause being shown for the fail-
ure to file an answer, we deem the allegations in the
complaint to be admitted as true, and we grant the Gen-
eral Counsel’s Motion for Default Judgment.
On the entire record, the Board makes the following

II. ALLEGED UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES
At all material times, Respondents Distler Corporation,
Sierra, Distler Construction, and Gulf State have been
affiliated business enterprises with common officers,
ownership, directors, management and supervision; have
administered a common labor policy; have shared prem-
ises and facilities; have provided services for and made
sales to each other; have interchanged personnel with
each other; have had an interrelationship of operations
including common insurance, licensing, purchasing, and
sales; and have held themselves out to the public as a
single-integrated business enterprise.
Based on its above operations, Respondents Distler
Corporation, Sierra, Distler Construction, and Gulf State
constitute a single integrated business enterprise and a
single employer within the meaning of the Act.
At all material times, the following individuals held
the positions set forth opposite their respective names
and have been supervisors of the Respondent within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act and agents of the
Respondent within the meaning of Section 2(13) of the
Act:
Patrick Bateson
Director, Respondent Distler
Construction; Superintendent,
Respondent Gulf State
George W. Distler Jr.
President, Respondent Gulf
State; Director, Respondent
Sierra; President and Regis-
tered Agent, Respondent Dis-
tler Corporation
George W. Distler Sr.
President, Respondent Distler
Corporation; Chief Executive
Officer, Respondent Sierra.
At all material times from about May 15, 2015 to
about August 8, 2015, Bruce Zarajczyk held the position
of the Respondent’s job foreman and has been an agent
of the Respondent within the meaning of Section 2(13)
of the Act.
The following employees of the Respondent (the unit)
constitute a unit appropriate for the purpose of collective
bargaining within the meaning of Section 9(b) of the Act:
All employees, journeymen, apprentices and support
personnel employed by Respondent within the jurisdic-
tion of the Union that engage in all work historically or
traditionally assigned to the International Union of
Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, including but not
limited to: all forms of masonry construction, including
all brick, stone, concrete block, marble, cement, plaster,
mosaic, tile, terra cotta, glass block, refractory materi-
als, and pointing-cleaning-caulking work; the complete
installation of all forms of masonry panels including
the onsite fabrication, but excluding the off-site fabrica-
tion of materials by a third party, all integral elements
of masonry construction and all forms of substitute ma-
sonry materials or building systems thereto utilized.
About May 12, 2014, Respondent Gulf State recog-
nized the Union as the exclusive collective-bargaining
representative of the unit. This recognition has been em-
bodied in a collective-bargaining agreement with the
Union which is effective by its terms from May 1, 2014
through April 30, 2017.
At all material times since about May 12, 2014, the
Union has been the exclusive collective-bargaining rep-
resentative of the unit.
DISTLER CONSTRUCTION CO.
189
The following events occurred giving rise to this mat-
ter.
1. About August 8, 2014, the Respondent, by Bruce
Zarajczyk, at the Respondent’s Volusia County jail
jobsite, threatened employees with discharge because of
their union membership and activities.
2. About August 8, 2014, the Respondent discharged
its employees Mark Jekot and Forrest Greenlee. The
Respondent engaged in this conduct because Jekot and
Greenlee joined the Union and engaged in concerted ac-
tivities, and to discourage employees from engaging in
these activities.
3. Since about early August 2014, the Respondent has
failed to continue in effect all of the terms and conditions
of the collective-bargaining agreement by failing to pay
employees in the unit the wages provided for in the col-
lective-bargaining agreement.
4. Since about early August 2014, the Respondent has
failed to continue in effect all of the terms and conditions
of the collective-bargaining agreement by failing to make
health and welfare contributions to the Florida Trowel
Trades International Health Fund on behalf of employees
in the unit; apprenticeship fund contributions to the
Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local 8—Southeast
Apprenticeship and Training Trust Fund on behalf of
employees in the unit; and pension fund contributions to
the Bricklayers and Trowel Trades International Pension
Fund on behalf of employees in the unit.
5. Since about early August 2014, the Respondent has
failed to continue in effect all of the terms and conditions
of the collective-bargaining agreement by ceasing the
deduction of union dues and fees from the wages of em-
ployees in the unit who authorized such deductions and
by ceasing the remittance of those union dues and fees to
the Union.
6. Since about early August 2014, the Respondent has
failed to continue in effect all of the terms and conditions
of the collective-bargaining agreement by failing to pay
other contract benefits to employees in the unit.
7. The terms and conditions of employment described
above are mandatory subjects for the purpose of collec-
tive bargaining.
8. The Respondent engaged in the above conduct
without the Union’s consent.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. By the conduct described above in paragraph 1, the
Respondent has been interfering with, restraining, and
coercing employees in the exercise of their rights guaran-
teed in Section 7 of the Act, in violation of Section
8(a)(1).
2. By the conduct described above in paragraph 2, the
Respondent has been discriminating in regard to the hire
and tenure or terms and conditions of employment of its
employees, thereby discouraging membership in a labor
organization, in violation of Section 8(a)(3) and (1) of
the Act.
3. By the conduct described above in paragraphs 3–6
and 8, the Respondent has been failing and refusing to
bargain collectively with the exclusive collective-
bargaining representative of its employees within the
meaning of Section 8(a)(5) and (1) of the Act.
4. The unfair labor practices of the Respondent de-
scribed above affect commerce within the meaning of
Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act.
REMEDY
Having found that the Respondent has engaged in cer-
tain unfair labor practices, we shall order it to cease and
desist and to take certain affirmative action designed to
effectuate the policies of the Act. Specifically, having
found that the Respondent violated Section 8(a)(3) and
(1) by discharging employees Mark Jekot and Forrest
Greenlee, we shall order the Respondent to offer them
full reinstatement to their former jobs or, if those jobs no
longer exist, to substantially equivalent positions, with-
out prejudice to their seniority or any other rights or priv-
ileges previously enjoyed, and to make them whole for
any loss of earnings and other benefits suffered as a re-
sult of the discrimination against them.
Backpay shall be computed in accordance with F. W.
Woolworth Co., 90 NLRB 289 (1950), with interest at
the rate prescribed in New Horizons, 283 NLRB 1173
(1987), compounded daily as prescribed in Kentucky
River Medical Center, 356 NLRB 6 (2010). Additional-
ly, we shall order the Respondent to compensate Jekot
and Greenlee for any adverse tax consequences of receiv-
ing lump-sum backpay awards and to file a report with
the Social Security Administration allocating the back-
pay to the appropriate calendar quarters. Don Chavas,
LLC d/b/a Tortillas Don Chavas, 361 NLRB 101 (2014).
Further, the Respondent shall be required to remove
from its files any and all references to the unlawful dis-
charges of Jekot and Greenlee, and to notify them in
writing that this has been done and that the discharges
will not be used against them in any way.
Having found that the Respondent failed and refused
to bargain with the Union as the exclusive collective-
bargaining representative of unit employees by failing
and refusing to continue in effect all of the terms and
conditions of the parties’ collective-bargaining agree-
ment, we shall order the Respondent to rescind the
changes in the terms and conditions of employment of
bargaining unit employees that were implemented in
about early August 2014. In addition, we shall order the
Respondent to make employees whole for any losses of

earnings or other benefits suffered as a result of the Re-
spondent’s failure to continue in effect the terms of the
collective-bargaining agreement, including contractual
wages and benefits in accordance with Ogle Protection
Service, 183 NLRB 682 (1970), enfd. 444 F.2d 502 (6th
Cir. 1971), with interest at the rate prescribed in New
Horizons, supra, compounded daily as prescribed in Ken-
tucky River Medical Center, supra. We shall also order
the Respondent to compensate unit employees for any
adverse tax consequences of receiving any lump-sum
backpay awards and to file a report with the Social Secu-
rity Administration allocating such backpay to the ap-
propriate calendar quarters. Don Chavas, LLC d/b/a Tor-
tillas Don Chavas, supra.
Having found that the Respondent violated Section
8(a)(5) and (1) by failing to remit contributions to the
Florida Trowel Trades International Health Fund, the
Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local 8—Southeast
Apprenticeship and Training Trust Fund, and the Brick-
layers and Trowel Trades International Pension Fund on
behalf of unit employees since about early August 2014,
as required by the collective-bargaining agreement, we
shall order the Respondent to make whole its unit em-
ployees by making all such delinquent fund contributions
on behalf of unit employees that have not been made
since that date, including any additional amounts due the
funds in accordance with Merryweather Optical Co., 240
NLRB 1213, 1216 fn. 7 (1979).1
Further, the Respondent shall be required to reimburse
unit employees for any expenses ensuing from its failure
to make the required fund contributions, as set forth in
Kraft Plumbing & Heating, 252 NLRB 891, 891 fn. 2
(1980), enfd. mem. 661 F.2d 940 (9th Cir. 1981). Such
amounts should be computed in the manner set forth in
Ogle Protection Service, supra, with interest at the rate
prescribed in New Horizons, supra, compounded daily as
prescribed in Kentucky River Medical Center, supra.
To the extent that an employee has made personal con-
tributions to a fund that are accepted by the fund in lieu
of the employer’s delinquent contributions during the
period of delinquency, the Respondent will reimburse the
employee, but the amount of such reimbursement will
constitute a setoff to the amount that the Respondent
otherwise owes the fund.
Having found that the Respondent unlawfully ceased
the deduction of union dues and fees from the wages of
unit employees who authorized such deductions and
1 Because the provisions of employee benefit fund agreements are
variable and complex, we leave to the compliance stage the question of
whether the Respondent must pay any additional amounts into the
benefit fund in order to satisfy our “make whole” remedy. Merry-
weather Optical Co., supra.
ceased the remittance of those union dues and fees to the
Union, we shall require the Respondent to make the Un-
ion whole for any dues it would have received since early
August 2014, with interest at the rate prescribed in New
Horizons, supra, compounded daily as prescribed in Ken-
tucky River Medical Center, supra, and without recoup-
ing the money owed for past dues from employees.2
ORDER
The National Labor Relations Board orders that the
Respondent, Distler Corporation, Sanford and Lake
Mary, Florida; Sierra Masonry Corporation, Lake Mary,
Florida; Distler Construction Co., Inc., Sanford, Florida;
and Gulf State Construction Co. d/b/a Distler Construc-
tion, Sanford, Florida, as a single employer, its officers,
agents, successors, and assigns shall
1. Cease and desist from
(a) Threatening employees with discharge because of
their union membership and activities.
(b) Discharging or otherwise discriminating against
employees for supporting the Union or any other labor
organization.
(c) Failing to pay unit employees the wages and bene-
fits provided for in the parties’ May 1, 2014—April 30,
2017 collective-bargaining agreement.
2 For the reasons explained in West Coast Cintas Corp., 291 NLRB
152, 156 fn. 6 (1988), we find that the Respondent must bear sole fi-
nancial responsibility for the dues amounts it failed to collect. There,
the Board adopted the judge’s recommended remedy prohibiting the
employer from seeking reimbursement from its employees for back
dues owed. The judge reasoned that the execution of a checkoff au-
thorization constitutes a tender of dues required under Sec. 8(a)(3) and
therefore that the employees had fulfilled their contractual obligations.
Further, because the union’s loss of dues was caused by the employer’s
unlawful conduct, the Board concluded that it was proper to allocate the
financial obligation of making the union whole for the dues it would
have received but for the unlawful conduct entirely to the employer and
not the employees. See also Space Needle, LLC, 362 NLRB 35, 39 fn.
12 (2015). To prevent a double recovery by the Union, however, pay-
ment by the Respondent to the Union under this remedy shall be offset
by the amount of dues actually collected by the Union from members
who authorized dues check-off since August 2014, notwithstanding the
Respondent’s failure to remit such amounts to the Union. See A.W.
Farrell & Son, 361 NLRB 1487, 1487 fn. 3 (2014).
Member Miscimarra would also require the Respondent to reimburse
the Union for the dues and fees that it unlawfully failed to deduct and
remit, with an offset for any dues actually collected by the Union from
the employees during the backpay period. However, unlike his col-
leagues, Member Miscimarra would permit the Respondent to recoup
from its employees any amounts ultimately owed to the Union for dues
under the Order. The employees, not the Respondent, owe the dues to
the Union, and the fulfillment of that financial obligation remains their
responsibility. The employer’s role in dues-checkoff arrangements is
merely an administrative one. Therefore, Member Miscimarra would
find that ordering the Respondent to pay the employees’ delinquent
dues from its own funds is a punitive remedy outside the scope of the
Board’s authority. See Alamo Rent-A-Car, 362 NLRB 1091, 1097–
1098 (2015) (Member Miscimarra, dissenting).
