Charles D. Bonanno Linen Service, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board
Supreme Court of the United States (1982) | 70 L. Ed. 2d 656; 102 S. Ct. 720; 454 U.S. 404; 1982 U.S. LEXIS 60; 50 U.S.L.W. 4087; 109 L.R.R.M. (BNA) 2257
TL;DR: An employer attempted to withdraw from a multi-employer bargaining group after negotiations with a union reached an impasse. The Supreme Court upheld the NLRB's rule that an impasse alone is not a valid reason to withdraw, making the employer's action an unfair labor practice.
Legal Significance: This case establishes that a bargaining impasse is not an "unusual circumstance" justifying an employer's unilateral withdrawal from a multiemployer bargaining unit. It solidifies the NLRB's authority to prioritize the stability of bargaining units over an individual employer's economic interests during negotiations.
