National Labor Relations Board V. Tennessee Packers Inc‪.‬

This cause is before the Court upon petition of the National Labor Relations Board for enforcement of its order, issued August 5, 1965, against respondent, Tennessee Packers, Inc., Frosty Morn Division. The Court has jurisdiction of the proceeding, the alleged unfair labor practices having occurred in Clarksville, Tennessee, within this judicial circuit. Section 160(e), Title 29, U.S.C. The Board determined that the respondent committed unfair labor practices in violation of Sections 158(a)(1) and (5), Title 29, U.S.C., by refusing to bargain with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, AFL-CIO, Local No. 405 (the union), which had been certified by the Board as the exclusive bargaining representative of respondent's employees. The respondent, a Tennessee corporation, engaged in the business of processing and packaging meat products, admits its refusal to bargain, but contends that the Board's certification of the union was invalid.
