ORDER DENYING MOTION
BY CHAIRMAN PEARCE AND MEMBERS MISCIMARRA
AND MCFERRAN
On July 29, 2016, the General Counsel issued an con-
solidated complaint alleging that the Respondents, Per-
sonnel Staffing Group, LLC d/b/a Most Valuable Per-
sonnel and MVP Workforce, LLC, a single employer,
violated Section 8(a)(1) of the Act by certain conduct.
On October 20, 2016, the Respondents filed a Motion for
Summary Judgment and a brief in support, on October
27, 2016, the General Counsel filed an opposition to the
motion, and on November 3, 2016, the Respondents filed
a reply to the General Counsel’s opposition.
Having duly considered the matter, the Respondents’
motion is denied. The Respondents have failed to estab-
lish that there are no genuine issues of material fact war-
ranting a hearing and that they are entitled to judgment as
a matter of law.1
1 Member Miscimarra agrees with the denial of the Respondents’
motion as indicated in the Board’s Order. As Member Miscimarra
stated in L’Hoist North America of Tennessee, Inc., 362 NLRB 958,
960 (2015) (concurring), “in response to a motion for summary judg-
ment, . . . the General Counsel at least must explain in reasonably con-
crete terms why a hearing is required. Under the standard that governs
summary judgment determinations, this will normally require the Gen-
eral Counsel to identify material facts that are genuinely in dispute.”
See also Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, 363 NLRB 1084, 1085
(2016) (Member Miscimarra, dissenting). In the instant case, the Gen-
eral Counsel’s Opposition has primarily argued questions of law, but it
is evident from the parties’ respective positions that disputes exist as to
material facts regarding whether the Respondent violated the Act as
alleged in the complaint. Member Miscimarra also joins the majority in
finding that timely service of the charge is not rendered deficient by the
fact that Respondent received the charge from the Region and not from
the charging party. See, e.g., General Motors Corp., 237 NLRB 1509,
1517 fn. 11 (1978); General Marine Transport Corp., 238 NLRB 1372,
1375–1376 (1978). Member Miscimarra does not reach or pass on any
other questions of law raised by the parties.
