NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, Petitioner, v. ECONOMY FURNITURE, INC., Respondent
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:
At a consent election conducted under the supervision of the Regional Director of the National Labor Relations Board, 252 votes were cast for the Union as the bargaining agent for a unit of the employees of Economy Furniture Company, 83 votes were east against the Union and nine challenged votes were not counted. The Company refused to bargain, claiming that the election was invalid and asserted a number of contentions in support of its position. In a proceeding before the National Labor Relations Board it was decided that the Company had violated Section 8(a) (5) and (1) of the National Labor Relations Act, and it was directed to bargain with the Union.
