NLRB Upholds District Council’s Dockbuilders’ Election Victory

NLRB Hearing Officer Rejects Amalgamated’s Objections to District Council’s Dockbuilders’ Election Victory

A National Labor Relations Board Hearing Officer has issued his Report recommending that objections filed by the Angelo Bisceglie led Amalgamated union be overruled and that the District Council be certified as the collective bargaining representative for nearly 800 Dockbuilders employed by the General Contractors Association (GCA).

The District Council won the election back in March by almost a two to one margin. But the Amalgamated filed objections that have now been rejected after nearly three days of hearings in early October.

The Hearing Officer credited the testimony of EST Mike Bilello, finding it “straightforward and more reliable than contradictory testimony.”

In contrast, the Hearing Officer found the testimony of Amalgamated supporter Eric Gunderson “to be overly evasive during cross examination” so that his testimony couldn’t be believed.

I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.
