National Labor Relations Board v. Sitton Tank Co‪.‬

Sitton Tank Co. resists enforcement of an NLRB order to cease and desist from unlawfully interrogating employees, promising employees benefits, threatening the discontinuance of present benefits and discouraging union membership by discharging pro-union employees. The NLRB further ordered Sitton to bargain with the Union and to make whole four employees unlawfully discharged. Sitton rested its case before the Trial Examiner without offering any evidence and defended on the basis that (1) the General Counsel had not made a prima facie case and (2) that the Union had never made a proper demand for recognition by demonstrating majority representation in an appropriate unit.
