TRIAL EXAMINER'S DECISION STATEMENT OF THE CASE Counsel have stipulated the content of the record 1 in this matter and have sub- mitted it for decision . At issue is whether the labor organizations named above or any of them have committed unfair labor practices within the meaning of Section 8(b)(4)(i ) and (ii )(B) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended , herein called the Act. Upon the entire record 2 in the case , and in consideration of the briefs filed, I make the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. THE ENTITIES INVOLVED ; THEIR STATUS AND RELATIONSHIP Lane-Coos-Curry-Douglas Counties Building & Construction Trades Council, AFL- CIO, herein called the Council ; Carpenters Local Union No. 1273, United Brother- hood of Carpenters & Joiners of America , AFL-CIO, herein called the Carpenters; Construction & General Laborers Local No. 85, International Hod Carriers , Build- ing & Common Laborers' Union of America , AFL-CIO, herein called the Laborers; and Plumbers & Steamfitters Local No. 481 , United Association of Journeymen & Apprentices of the Plumbing & Pipe Fitting Industry of the U S. & Canada, AFL- CIO, herein called the Plumbers, are labor organizations within the meaning of Sec- tion 2 ( 5) of the Act. Carpenters , Laborers , and Plumbers are members of the Council. Ramsey-Waite Co., Inc., herein called Ramsey , is an Oregon corporation with its office and principal place of business in Eugene , Oregon. Taylor Ramsey is its presi- ' Consisting of charges and amended charges, affidavits of service , complaint , orders, motions, and a transcript of testimony in a civil action in U S. District Court. I note and correct the misnumbering of what is paragraph XIII of the complaint 2 References to the testimony of witnesses are to testimony adduced in the U S District Court, District of Oregon, in connection with a petition for injunctive relief filed under Section 10 ( 1) of the Act. LANE-COOS-CURRY-DOUGLAS COUNTIES BLDG. & CONST. 549 dent. In connection with its business of installing irrigation and sprinkling systems, Ramsey, in the past year, has purchased goods and materials valued at more than $100,000 which came to Ramsey directly or indirectly from points outside the State of Oregon. I find that Ramsey is an employer engaged in commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act. The United States National Bank, herein called the Bank, is engaged in Port- land and Eugene, Oregon, and at other points within the State of Oregon in a com- mercial banking business and sends checks for collection to banks outside the State of Oregon amounting to more than $100,000 annually. I find that the Bank is engaged in commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act. Gale M. Roberts Co., herein called Roberts, is a general contractor in Eugene, Oregon, engaged in the building and construction industry, an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of Section 2(7) of the Act. Stimson Plumbing & Heating Co., herein called Stimson, has its place of business in Eugene, Oregon, and is a plumbing subcontractor engaged in the building and construction industry, an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of Sec- tion 2(7) of the Act. The plumbers employed by Stimson are members of or are represented by Plumb- ers for purposes of collective bargaining. Employees of Roberts are members of or are represented by Carpenters or Laborers or other building trades locals affiliated with the Council. The employees of Ramsey are not represented by any labor organization. At all times material a labor dispute has existed between Ramsey and the Plumbers and Council. In August 1963 Ramsey and Roberts were engaged, each by direct contract with the Bank, in the performance of construction of a building for the Bank in Eugene. Stimson, under a subcontract from Roberts, had employees on the job performing plumbing or steamfitting work. In January 1964 Roberts was the general contractor constructing a city hall for the city of Eugene, and Ramsey, under a subcontract from Roberts, had employees at that construction site working in the installation of a sprinkling system. II. THE UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES About August 20, 1963, pursuant to its contract with the Bank, Ramsey sent employees to work at the Bank building. Stimson, under his contract with Roberts, also had an employee working there, Raymond Quick. Quick, along with other Stimson employees, is represented by the Plumbers. About 10 o'clock that morning, Mark Carmickle, the Plumbers' business manager, came to the jobsite and asked Quick if Ramsey employees were working on the job. Quick said that they were and indicated their location. Carmickle left but returned a short time later to tell Quick that a meeting was to be arranged that noon at which Roberts, Ramsey, and some labor union representatives were to be present. Quick testified that Ramsey did not mention the purpose of the meeting but Quick asserted that he knew why it was to be held. After the lunch period another Stimson employee, Warner Dallas, reported for work at the Bank job. At 1:30 both Quick and Dallas left work. Quick testified that he left because of a conscientious scruple against working "with people who were doing the same kind of work ... and receiving less wages and conditions." Quick's testimony concerning Carmickle's words and conduct is uncontroverted and is credited. That afternoon, according to the undenied and credited testimony of Arthur Pul- len, an employee of the Bank, he received a telephone call from Carmickle in which the latter said that he was "pulling the men off the job-or had just pulled the men off the job" because employees of Ramsey were working there. Pullen, having no authority to act in the matter, passed this information on to another representative of the Bank, Stuart Kidd. The next morning Carmickle telephoned Pullen again saying that the "non-union personnel ," Ramsey's employees , were not yet off the job and that in consequence the men represented by the Plumbers would not return. Stuart Kidd testified that he learned of the difficulty from Pullen in the afternoon of August 20 and went to the jobsite early the next morning. Meeting there with Taylor Ramsey, Kidd directed him to remove his men from the job and Ramsey did so. Encountering Carmickle a short time later, Kidd said that he had done what he assumed was necessary "to eliminate the confusion at the job" and that he hoped that the plumber employees would return to work. Within a half-hour they did so. Kidd explained that it was essential to have the structure completed by August 30 and that this could not be accomplished until the plumbing work was done. Carmickle was not called as a witness. 550 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD Admittedly the Plumbers is engaged in a labor dispute with Ramsey but Plumbers denies that it induced or encouraged any employees of Stimson to refuse to perform services or that it threatened , coerced, or restrained the Bank in either case with an object of causing the Bank to cease doing business with Ramsey. It is argued that the Plumbers played no part in bringing Quick to his decision to leave work on August 20. Quick, it will be remembered , testified that he left because his conscience would not permit him to remain at work where men doing work similar to his work were not receiving comparable wages. It is the fact , however, that Quick's con- science was not noticeably troubled until Carmickle appeared on the scene although be was aware of the presence of the Ramsey crew. There is no testimony by Quick that he acted under any sort of instruction from Carmickle and perhaps none was given. If so it was because Carmickle satisfied himself in some manner that explicit direction was unnecessary . He had inquired of Quick about the Ramsey crew and had told Quick that a meeting was being sought between Roberts, from whom Stimson, Quick's employer, has received his contract, and Ramsey . Quick needed no more to tell him that the Plumbers objected to the presence of Ramsey employees on the job. As he testified , he thought that he knew the purpose of the meeting. More than the logic of the situation tends to establish the reason for Quick's depar- ture . Shortly after it took place Carmickle notified the Bank that he had "pulled the men off the job ." I believe that he represented the situation truthfully and accu- rately to Pullen. I find that the Plumbers induced and encouraged Quick to refuse to perform services for his employer with an object of forcing the Bank to cease doing business with Ramsey. I further find that the Plumbers by telling the Bank that it had pulled the employees off the job threatened , coerced , and restrained the Bank with an object of forcing the Bank to cease doing business with Ramsey .3 The Plumbers thus has engaged in unfair labor practices within the meaning of Section 8(b) (4) (i) and (ii ) (B) of the Act. In 1962 Roberts was awarded a contract for construction of a city hall in Eugene. Thereafter he let the contract for installation of a sprinkler system to Ramsey. In September 1963, some months before Ramsey began the performance of his con- tract, Carmickle and Jens Horstrup, secretary of the Council, told Roberts that the Plumbers had no contract with Ramsey; that they wanted Ramsey to agree to a contract ; that Ramsey was not hiring Plumbers members ; and that they wanted Roberts' assistance in the matter. Roberts said that there was nothing that he could do; that he had let the contract and could not cancel it . About a month later, Roberts sought out Carmickle and asked if the dispute between the Plumbers and Ramsey might be settled if Ramsey would agree to hire "all Union help." Carmickle replied that to do so would be unfair to other plumbing contractors and nothing came of the proposal. On January 13, 1964 , Ramsey employees began work at the construction site. Carmickle, Horstrup, and one or two men not known to Roberts , came to the city hall and asked Roberts something about Ramsey workers being employed on the job. Roberts again explained that Ramsey had an enforceable contract and that it could not be canceled. Horstrup said that he would have to think about the matter . Carmickle said that he was going to do something about it but did not say what. The remainder of the day passed without incident. The next day, January 14, a picket appeared at the city hall job carrying a sign reading: RAMSEY-WAITE CO. WORKING CONDITIONS less than enjoyed by Plumbers Union #481. No other dispute exists on this job. At the request of the Plumbers, the Council gave its sanction to the picketing. With the appearance of the pickets, Roberts' employees , some of whom were rep- resented by the Carpenters and the remainder by the Laborers, either failed to begin work or ceased working. William Brown, a Roberts employee and a member of the Laborers, said that he and other Roberts employees , after seeing the pickets , waited around at the jobsite speculating about what action might be expected of them. Another employee and Laborers member, Robert Magee, testified that after some discussion with his fel- 8I do not find, however , that the record supports the allegation that Plumbers had a further object to force or require Stimson to cease doing business with Roberts in order to force Roberts to cease doing business with the Bank . There is no reason to suppose that the Plumbers had any desire to bring about such a development. LANE-COOS-CURRY-DOUGLAS COUNTIES BLDG. & CONST. 551 lows on this occasion , he telephoned Kenneth Barton, the business agent of the Laborers, for advice. Barton told Magee that the picketing was "informational" and that any decision to work was left to the discretion of the individuals. The laboring crew then started to work but in a short time, perhaps because of some unease, Magee telephoned Barton again with the result that all of the laborers went to Barton's office. There, in Barton's presence, Secretary Horstrup of the Council told the men that any decision was left to them; that the unions involved would not take any retributive action against any who went through the picket line. The men then returned to work and continued working although the pickets remained on patrol that day and part of the next. Most of the carpenter employees did not start work on the 14th because of the presence of pickets . Glen Randall , business representative of the Carpenters and president of the Council, appeared on the scene and some of the carpenters asked him what they should do. Randall replied that the picket line was "legal" and that be could not tell them what action to take; that they must decide. After some dis- cussion among themselves the carpenter employees , concluding that it was permis- sible to do so, went to work in midmorning . Although the picketing continued until noon on January 15, there was no further work interruption through January 16. In the morning of January 16, Randall notified Jay Maycumber, Roberts' super- intendent and a member of the Carpenters, that he wanted to meet with all carpen- ters employed on the job that afternoon after work . Maycumber notified the men to that effect . Learning of the planned meeting, the laborers went to Barton 's office after work and he led them into the room where the meeting was about to open. In addition to the employees , the meeting was attended by Randall of the Carpenters, Barton of the Laborers , and Joe Willis, secretary of the Oregon State Building Trades Council , not a respondent here. Randall spoke to the group saying, according to the testimony of Maycumber, that he had a list of all the carpenters on the job, that the job would be picketed the next morning, and that if the men did not cross the picket line the list would be forgotten . Another carpenter in attendance , Harold Stevenson, recalled in his testi- mony that Randall said that nothing would be done about the fact that the carpen- ters had worked behind the picket line earlier if they refused to cross the line that would appear in the morning. Carpenter Arlie Clement recalled from the witness stand that Randall referred the carpenters to a provision in the Carpenters' consti- tution providing for sanctions against any member who disregarded a picket line. Randall testified that he caused the meeting of January 16 to be called in order to dispel the "confusion" that had developed among carpenters regarding the picket- ing. To the employees there gathered Randall said , he testified , that he could not advise them what to do but called their attention to provisions in the Carpenters' constitution which governed the honoring of picket lines. Randall said that it was his obligation to enforce the rules and that if the men worked despite the picketing he would have to bring charges to the District Council which might impose fines or reprimands. Barton testified that he participated in the meeting at least to the extent of remind- ing members of the Laborers that their constitution too contained a provision providing punishment for members who disregarded a picket line but that any accused member had a right to a trial before any sanction could be imposed. The picketing resumed on January 17. Carpenters and laborers did not work and remained away until Ramsey employees left the jobsite about 2 weeks later. Horstrup and Randall themselves were among the pickets. Whatever "confusion" existed in the minds of Roberts employees at the inception of picketing on January 14 was resolved when they decided that as long as the option was theirs they would continue to work. This was not satisfactory to Randall so he sought to "clarify" the problem for his members by telling them that they risked fines or reprimands if they did not respond to picketing by leaving their jobs. Barton echoed this warning to his members. Joe Willis was permitted to tell the employees in the presence of Randall and Barton that he would not cross the picket line and that he thought Randall had manifested a kindly restraint in not seeking punishment for those who had on January 14 and 15 remained at work. The evidence fully supports the allegations of the complaint in respect to the picketing at the city hall job. No matter how inoffensively the picket signs were worded, members of the Carpenters and the Laborers were told that they had better not work while they were being carried at the job. Thus these workers were taught that they could make their own decision in respect to ceasing work in the presence of picketing provided the decision was not to remain at work. Their freedom of choice was inhibited only in that it had to coincide with the choice made in that area by their unions. 552 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD The evidence is persuasive that the Plumbers, the Carpenters, the Laborers, and the Council were jointly engaged in an attempt through picketing which was ostensibly innocent to induce and encourage employees of Roberts to leave their jobs with an object of forcing or requiring Roberts to cease doing business with Ramsey. When picketing failed, members of the Carpenters and of the Laborers were threatened with at least the possibility of reprisals should they continue at work. The employees responded as it was intended that they should and Roberts employees refused to work as long as Ramsey workers were on the job. By this inducement and encouragement the Respondents 4 and each of them have engaged in unfair labor practices within the meaning of Section 8(b) (4) (i) (B) of the Act. The shutdown thus caused was a costly one to Roberts. He could escape its impact only by removing Ramsey from the job and by arranging for a contractor acceptable to the Respondents to do the work in which Ramsey had been engaged or by having it performed by his own employees. The shutdown constituted a coercion and restraint forbidden by the Act and by bringing such pressure to bear upon Roberts the Respondents and each of them have engaged in unfair labor practices within the meaning of Section 8(b) (4) (ii) (B) of the Act. III. THE EFFECT OF THE UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES UPON COMMERCE The activities of the Respondents set forth in section II, above, occurring in connec- tion with the operations of the Bank, Roberts, Ramsey, and Stimson, described above, have a close, intimate, and substantial relation to trade, traffic, and commerce among the several States and tend to lead to and have led to labor disputes burdening and obstructing commerce and the free flow of commerce. IV. THE REMEDY Having found that the Plumbers has engaged in unfair labor practices violative of Section 8(b)(4)(i) and (ii)(B) of the Act in respect to the Bank job, and that the Plumbers, the Carpenters, the Laborers, and the Council have violated the same section in respect to the city hall job, it will be recommended that each cease and desist therefrom and that each take certain affirmative action to effectuate the policies of the Act. On the basis of the entire record in the case, I make the following: CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The Plumbers, the Carpenters, the Laborers, and the Council are labor organ- izations within the meaning of Section 2(5) of the Act. 2. The Bank, Roberts, Ramsey, and Stimson are engaged in commerce, or in an industry affecting commerce, within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act. 3. By inducement and encouragement of employees of Stimson and by threaten- ing, coercing, and restraining the Bank, both actions having the object of forcing or requiring the Bank to cease doing business with Ramsey, the Plumbers has engaged in unfair labor practices within the meaning of Section 8(b) (4) (i) and (ii) (B) of the Act. 4. By inducing and encouraging the employees of Roberts to cease performing services for their employer and by threatening, coercing, and restraining Roberts, both actions with an object of forcing or requiring Roberts to cease doing business with Ramsey, the Plumbers, the Carpenters, the Laborers, and, the Council have engaged in unfair labor practices within the meaning of Section 8(b)(4)(i) and (ii) (B) of the Act. 5. The aforesaid unfair labor practices are unfair labor practices affecting com- merce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act. RECOMMENDED ORDER Upon the basis of the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, and pur- suant to Section 10(c) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, it is recom- mended that: A.
