W & M Properties of Connecticut, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board

Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge GRIFFITH.

GRIFFITH, Circuit Judge:

In this case, the National Labor Relations Board determined that an employer’s decision not to retain employees of a newly acquired business was unlawfully animated by a desire to avoid dealing with a labor union, in violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Because the Board’s order is a product of reasoned decisionmaking and is supported by substantial evidence in the record, we deny the employer’s petition for review and grant the Board’s cross-application for enforcement.
