Allentown Mack Sales & Service, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board
United States Supreme Court
522 U.S. 359 (1998)
Relevant factsFree
After Allentown (plaintiff) acquired a Mack Trucks branch and hired 32 of its unionized employees, seven of whom expressed a lack of union support, Allentown declined to automatically recognize the union and instead polled employees, who voted against the union; the NLRB (defendant), crediting only the seven employees' statements as insufficient to show "objective reasonable doubt" of majority union support, ordered Allentown to keep recognizing the union, and the court of appeals affirmed.
IssueFree
Whether, under administrative law, a federal agency's fact-finding is supported by substantial evidence when the record contains probative circumstantial evidence that the agency did not credit.
