033306P.pdf   05/11/2005  MN Licensed Nurses  v.  NLRB
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3306
   Agency   
Petition for Review - NLRB. Although the Board's holding that the Union violated Section 8(g) of the National Labor Relations Act by unilaterally delaying the commencement of a strike beyond the time disclosed in the ten-day notice mandated by Section 8(g) departed from prior precedent, the decision was based on a rational and consistent interpretation of the Act and effectuated the policy underlying the statute; as a result, the Board did not err in finding that the striking nurses lost their status as protected employees and could be terminated without violating the Act.
