164520P.pdf 02/21/2018 Aerotek, Inc. v. NLRB
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-4520
and No: 17-1206
National Labor Relations Board
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Gruender and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - National Labor Relations Board. The Board did not
err in finding that Aerotek had violated the National Labor Relations Act
by not hiring or considering for hire four union members who had applied
to Aerotek to further a "salting" campaign in which they actively sought
to organize and recruit for the union on non-union jobsites; the four
men's applications were genuine, there were openings and anti-union animus
contributed to the refusal to hire; with respect to the Board's remedy for
the violation, the Board erred in ordering instatement and backpay for one
of the four union members as his actions in attempting to poach an Aerotek
client was not the kind of conduct pardoned or excused under the Board's
"unfit for further service" standard; remanded for further proceedings on
the appropriate remedy.
