Garten Trucking LC v NLRB - Enforcement of Labor Order

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision and order against Garten Trucking LC. The court found that Garten Trucking violated the National Labor Relations Act by interfering with and discouraging its employees' efforts to organize and elect the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers as their bargaining representative. The NLRB had previously issued a Gissel bargaining order and a notice-reading and cease-and-desist order, which the court has now granted enforcement for.

This decision means Garten Trucking must comply with the NLRB's order, which includes bargaining with the union. The court's affirmation reinforces the NLRB's authority in cases of employer interference with unionization efforts. While no specific compliance deadline or penalty amount is detailed in this opinion, failure to comply with a court-enforced NLRB order can lead to further legal action and potential sanctions.
