Case Brief Summary & Legal Analysis
tl;dr: The NLRB General Counsel’s decision to dismiss an unfair labor practice complaint via an informal, pre-hearing settlement is an unreviewable act of prosecutorial discretion. The Court held that neither the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) nor the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) provides for judicial review.
Legal Significance: This case solidifies the non-reviewability of the NLRB General Counsel’s prosecutorial decisions, distinguishing them from the Board’s adjudicatory orders. It affirms that a comprehensive statutory scheme like the NLRA can implicitly preclude judicial review under the APA for certain agency actions.

Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
A union (UFCW) filed unfair labor practice charges against an employer and another union. The NLRB Regional Director investigated and issued a formal complaint. Before a hearing commenced, the Regional Director, the employer, and the other union reached an informal settlement agreement. The agreement required remedial actions but no admission of wrongdoing, and it provided for the complaint’s dismissal. The charging party, UFCW, refused to join the settlement, objecting to its terms. The Regional Director proceeded with the settlement, and the NLRB General Counsel upheld this decision on appeal. The UFCW then sought judicial review in the U.S. Court of Appeals, arguing the court had jurisdiction to review the General Counsel’s dismissal of the complaint. The Board contended that the General Counsel’s action was a final, unreviewable prosecutorial decision, not a final “order of the Board” subject to judicial review under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
Court Holding & Legal Precedent
