Universal Camera Corp. v. National Labor Relations Board

In an NLRB proceeding against Universal Camera Corp. (Universal) (defendant) over an allegedly retaliatory employee discharge, a trial examiner recommended dismissing the complaint after finding no retaliatory motive, but the NLRB rejected that report and ordered reinstatement and a cease-and-desist order; the Second Circuit upheld the NLRB's order, and Universal petitioned for certiorari, arguing the circuit court wrongly disregarded the examiner's rejected factual findings and that the NLRB's order lacked substantial evidentiary support on the record as a whole.
