Cases 21-CA-26644 and 21-CA-26675 January 31, 1990 DECISION AND ORDER BY CHAIRMAN STEPHENS AND MEMBERS CRACRAFT AND DEVANEY On September 8, 1989, Administrative Law Judge Clifford H Anderson issued the attached de- cision The General Counsel and Respondent each filed exceptions and supporting briefs The National Labor Relations Board has delegat- ed its authority in this proceeding to a three- member panel The Board has considered the decision and the record in light of the exceptions and briefs and has decided to affirm the judge's rulings, findings,' and conclusions and to adopt the recommended Order 2 ORDER The National Labor Relations Board adopts the recommended Order of the administrative law judge and orders that the Respondent, Money Radio, a California Limited Partnership, Anahiem, California, its officers, agents, successors, and as- signs, shall take the action set forth in the Order We find no merit in the Respondent's contention that the election was improper and unconstitutional because it proceeded despite the pend- ency of the Respondent's request for review before the Board In this regard, the Respondent contends that It was denied an opportunity to campaign against the Union because the Board did not issue its decision pnor to the date of the election We note that the Respondent failed to raise a timely objection to the conduct of the election Moreover, we have Independently reviewed the record and find that the Respondent was Informed well in advance of the election that the Regional Director would proceed in accordance with the Decision and Direction of Elec- tion and that, if the Board had not rendered its decision by the election date, the ballots would be Impounded pending the decision The Re- spondent's decision not to participate in the campaign does not render the election null and void or violate its constitutional rights 2 The General Counsel excepted to the judge's decision for the limited purpose of requesting that the Order and notice be modified to include a recital of the establmhed rule that the initial penod of certification of the Union shall commence as of the date the Respondent begins to bargain in good faith with the Union In support of this request, the General Coun- sel relied on Lustrelon, Inc , 289 NLRB 378 (1988), and Glomac Plastics, 234 NLRB 1309 (1978), cases in which the employer was found to have engaged in bad-faith bargaining during the certification year Under those circumstances, it was appropnate to define clearly the parameters of the certification year because of the difficulty in determining when good- faith bargaining stopped and bad faith bargaining began In this case, however, the Respondent has refused to bargain with the Union because It challenges the Union s certification The judge's recital of the certifica- tion year rule in his remedy is sufficient to redress this violation and is consistent with usual Board practice Accordingly, the modifications sought by the General Counsel are unnecessary and we deny the General Counsel's request Margaret Hume and Frank Wagner, Esqs , for the Gener- al Counsel Edward "Buz" Schwartz pro se, of Anaheim, California, for the Respondent Anthony Segall, Esq (Reich, Adell & Crost), of Los Ange- les, California, for the Union DECISION STATEMENT OF THE CASE CLIFFORD H ANDERSON, Administrative Law Judge I heard the above-captioned consolidated cases on July 27, 1989, in Los Angeles, California The matter arose as fol- lows On February 15, 1989, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, AFL-CIO, Los Angeles Local (the Union) filed a charge docketed as Case 21- CA-26644 against Money Radio, a California Limited Partnership (Respondent) Thereafter on March 7, 1989, the Union filed a charge docketed as Case 21-CA-26675 against Respondent Thereafter, on March 30, 1989, the Regional Director for Region 21 of the National Labor Relations Board issued an order consolidating cases, con- solidated complaint, and notice of hearing consolidating the cases for a common hearing and decision with a third case, Case 21-CA-26651 On September 1, 1989, I issued an order severing cases, severing all aspects of Case 21- CA-26651 from this proceeding The consolidated complaint as amended by the sever- ance alleges that Respondent has failed to recognize, bar- gain with, or supply relevant information concerning Re- spondent's employees in the unit descnbed, infra, to the Union as the exclusive representative of Respondent's employees in a unit appropriate for collective bargaining Respondent denies the validity of the underlying rep- resentation proceeding and hence the Union's status as the representative of unit employees and all other allega- tions of wrongdoing Further, Respondent challenges the propriety of an administrative law judge employed by the National Labor Relations Board hearing the instant matter Respondent's recusation ments threshold consid- eration Ruling on Motion to Disqualify the Administrative Law Judge Respondent as part of its answer, in the preheanng conference call and at the hearing challenging the pro- priety of an administrative law judge employed by the National Labor Relations Board heanng the instant con- solidated cases against it The representative of Respond- ent made it clear that the challenge was predicated en- tirely on the employee-employer relationship between the designated administrative law judge and the Board and not on any other grounds Thus, Respondent does not contend that the particular designation of this admin- istrative law judge, the specific identity of the judge, or the judge's conduct in the case was other than consistent with Board practice or constitutes an independent basis for disqualification Rather, Respondent's challenge is to the selection by any means of an administrative law judge employed by the ,Board which Board also employs the staff of the General Counsel prosecuting the case I 297 NLRB No 108 706 DECISIONS OF THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD accepted the factual contention of Respondent—that I was in fact an employee of the National Labor Relations Board, but denied the motion to disqualify at the heanng as insufficient on its face given the provisions for the designation of and hearing of cases by administrative law judges set forth in the Act and in the Board's Rules and Regulations See Section 10(c) of the Act and the Board's Rules and Regulations Section 102 34 et seq See also Ramspeck v Trial Examiners Conference, 345 U S 128 (1953), cf Butz v Economy, 438 US 478 (1978) I reaffirm my ruling here 1 All parties were given full opportunity to participate at the hearing, to introduce relevant evidence, to call, ex- amine and cross-examine witnesses, to argue orally and to file postheanng briefs - Upon the entire record herein, including a postheanng brief from the General Counsel and oral argument from Respondent, and from my observation of the witnesses and their demeanor, I make the following FINDINGS OF FACT2 I JURISDICTION The complaint alleges and the answer admits that Re- spondent is a California limited partnership engaged in the business of radio broadcasting with a facility located since on or about January 30, 1989, in Anaheim, Califor- nia, and previously located Los Angeles, California Re- spondent, annually in the normal course and conduct of its business operations receives gross revenues in excess of $100,000 and sells services valued in excess of $50,000 directly to enterprises located outside the State of Cali- fornia Respondent subscribes to national wire services and advertises national brand products The complaint further alleges, the answer admits and I find that Re- spondent is, and has been at all times material, an em- ployer engaged in commerce and in a business affecting commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act II LABOR ORGANIZATION The Union is a labor organization within the meaning of Section 2(5) of the Act 'Appeals from rulings on motions to disqualify administrative law judges under Sec 102 36 of the Board's Rules and Regulations are gov- erned by the provisions of Sec 102 26 of the Rules 2 As a result of the pleadings and the stipulations of counsel and repre- sentatives at the trial there were few disputes of fact regarding collateral matters Where not otherwise noted, the findings herein are based on the pleadings, the stipulations of the parties including stipulated documents, or other unchallenged credible evidence 3 The General Counsel also moved that I strike those portions of Re- spondent s answer denying those contentions I denied that motion and reaffirm my ruling here Aurora Packing Co,

Status as the Exclusive Representative of Unit Employees 1 The uncontested events On November 14, 1988, the Regional Director for Region 31 issued a Decision and Direction of Election in Case 31-RC-6468 holding the following unit (the unit) appropriate for collective bargaining under Section 9(b) of the Act All full-time and regular part-time on-air radio staff announcers employed by Respondent at its facility, excluding all other employees, office clencal em- ployees, board operators, producers, researchers, writers, salespersons, managers, guards and supervi- sors as defined in the Act On November 21, 1988, Respondent sought Board review of the Regional Director's Decision and Direc- tion of Election On December 16, 1988, the Board denied Respondent's request for review Following an election among employees in the unit in which a majority voted for the Union, and in the ab- sence of timely objections to the conduct of the election, on December 29, 1988, the Regional Director for Region 31 certified the Union as the exclusive representative of employees in the unit for purposes of collective bargain- ing 2 Analysis and conclusions Respondent challenges the Regional Director's Deci- sion and Direction of Election and the resulting certifica- tion of the Union as exclusive representative of unit em- ployees Given the fact that the Board denied review of the Decision and Direction of Election, that action may not be challenged here nor, since the time for the filing of objections to the conduct of elections has passed, may Respondent challenge the election itself These represen- tation case matters do not present litigatable issues before me Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co v NLRB, 313 U S 146, 162 (1941) This being so, I find the Union was at all times on and after December 29, 1988, the exclusive rep- resentative of Respondent's unit employees for purposes of collective bargaining and that the unit is an appropri- ate unit for collective bargaining within the meaning of Section 9(b) of the Act 3 B Events Subsequent to Issuance of the Certification 1 The correspondence On January 4, 1989, the Union sent Respondent a letter, received on January 5, 1989, with the following text 3 The General Counsel also moved that I strike those portions of Re- spondent s answer denying those contentions I denied that motion and reaffirm my ruling

As a matter of record, the Appeals Board decision was rendered the same day that the election was held If the elec- tion was postponed just one week, Money Radio would have been able to participate fully in the election and would have willingly abided by the- de- cision As far as the information you request I cannot comply because I honestly do not know who or what a "staff announcer" is, and regardless of defi- nition, no announcers work for KMNY either in Pomona or Los Angeles We do not use the term 708 DECISIONS OF THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD and no one in our employ has ever been hired as a staff announcer Please understand that Money Radio has no ob- jection to any its employees seeking to organize under the Federal Labor Relations Act All we ask is that it be done legally and fairly To show our good faith, if you will send a list of the names of the people you claim are in the unit, I will supply you with the information you request, understand- ing that my submitting the information in no way compromises my claim that the people on your list may or may not be staff announcers employed with KMNY, either in Pomona or Los Angeles On January 19, 1989, the Union's counsel sent Re- spondent a letter with the following text This office is legal counsel to Amencan Federa- tion of Television and Radio Artists, Los Angeles Local I have reviewed Jay Gmsberg's January 4, 1989, request for information (the Request), and your response by letter dated January 9, 1989 Al- though I have doubts as to the good faith of your position, I will attempt to clarify the ambiguities you perceive in the Request You profess confusion over the term "staff an- nouncer" For purpose of the Request, you may construe staff announcer to mean any employee of Money Radio whose voice is broadcast on radio station KMNY-AM, except (1) employees classified as researchers, wnters and producers, and (2) man- agement employees, including yourself and Steve Kindred You have asked us to identify specific individuals on whose behalf information is requested While AFTRA does not have access to a current employ- ee roster, you may construe the request as including but not limited to the following individuals Mark Baker Cindy Jeter Jennifer Bauman Alan Ross Laura Zengals Richard Beebe Alan Harvey Michael Shappee Mike Bloodworth Shelley McDonald Jodie Adler Stan Harrell Sparkle Stiff B J Whitbeck Gene Ferguson Scott Greene Michael Ray Tom Storey Robin Newland Ehz Klene Geoffrey Nathanson Robin Burcher Any of the above individuals who are no longer employees of Money Radio may, of course, be ex- cluded from the Request Moreover, if you contend that any of the above individuals, though currently employed by Money Radio, are not properly in the bargaining unit, please identify the individuals and state the basis for their exclusion In any event, please provide the requested information for all in- dividuals you concede to be in the bargaining unit All the requested information should be provided to me, in writing, no later than the close of business on January 31, 1989 Apropos of the appeal for clear communication contained in your January 9 letter, note the follow- ing The federal statute governing collective bar- gaining is the National Labor Relations Act And literary allusions notwithstanding, the regional di- rector of Region 31 is Roger W Goubeaux On February 6, Respondent wrote a letter to the Union's counsel with the following text First let me apologize for the lateness of my reply to your letter of January 19th We moved our facilities to Anaheim, please note our new address and phone number, and this is the first chance I have to reply Let me answer your letter paragraph by paragraph As I have mentioned many times, I am not an at- torney, but that does not mean I am unfamiliar with legal proceedings and negotiations With this in mind, let me suggest that expressing doubts about my good faith without ever having met me or con- versed with me is not the way to start a successful negotiation My confusion over the term "staff announcer" is really the crux of this entire situation, and has been since the beginning One day I hope you will ex- plain why your firm used it By doing so, you have confused a very simple situation Let me give you an example B J Whitbeck has been with our company over a year She was first hired as a research person, and is now employed as a telephone producer During that time, Ms Whitbeck expressed a desire to voice material on the air Being reasonable employers, we allowed her to air one or two stories Her voice is not suitable for network production, and she no longer is heard On the one hand, you claim that producers are not included in the unit, and on the other, you spe- cifically name her as a part of the unit Then you say if I do not agree with whom you put into the unit, I should state my reasons Is that good faith9 And finally, if the childish behavior you exhibit- ed in the last paragraph of your letter "made your day," it is ok with me Some day you might even have a "grown-up" success to write in your copy book On February 23, 1989, Respondent sent a Region 21 field agent investigating Case 21-CA-26644 a letter with the following text I attempted to call you twice to find out how much background information on the case you had It was originally heard in the West Los Angeles office Unfortunately, you were out First, let me say that I am not an attorney I am an engineer and businessman And if I had the time, which I don't, I would file a complaint that the at- torneys representing AFTRA are the ones guilty of unfair labor practices MONEY RADIO 709 I I say this because I feel it is unfair to ask for something that you know does not exit [sic] The at- torneys keep asking for information on "Staff An- nouncers" To revive a phrase from the '50's, "I have not now, nor have I ever had a classification called 'Staff Announcer " There are no staff an- nouncers working at KMNY There is one other point that we will have to ad- dress As far as I am concerned, the election held by the National Labor Relations Board was illegal, and I do not recognize AFTRA as the bargaining agent for Money Radio I have enclosed copies of all correspondence and would be most happy to discuss any or all aspects of the situation with you 2 Analysis and conclusions The representative of Respondent contends that the correspondence is not sufficient to constitute a refusal of Respondent to recognize the Union, a Union request to bargain, a refusal by Respondent to bargain, a request for relevant information or a refusal to supply relevant infor- mation The Union's January 4, 1989 letter is a proper demand for recognition and bargaining as well as a request for relevant information Respondent's letters of January 9, February 6 and February 23, read in the context of the union counsel's letter of January 19 makes it clear that Respondent does not accept the validity of the represen- tation case certification and will not recognize, bargain, or supply relevant information to the Union however in- direct the wording of the correspondence on these ques- tions C Conclusions I have found the Union at all times since December 29, 1988, has exclusively represented unit employees for purposes of collective bargaining I have further found the Union sought to bargain with Respondent and sought information relevant to its bargaining obligation Finally, I have found Respondent has at all times material since January 9, 1989, failed and refused to recognize and bar- gain with the Union as the exclusive representative of unit employees and further failed to supply requested in- formation relevant to the Union's duty to represent unit employees Respondent has thus simply refused to recog- nize the Union as its employees' representative or to par- ticipate in any bargaining or provision of information to the Union in aid of bargaining Respondent's actions and omissions violate Section 8(a)(5) and (1) of the Act and I so find Lake Holiday Associates, 295 NLRB 992 (1989), Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co v NLRB, 313 U S 146, 162 (1941),

Respondent at its facility, excluding all other employees, office clerical em- ployees, board operators, producers, researchers, writers, salespersons, managers, guards and supervi- sors as defined in the Act 4 The unit described above is appropriate for purposes of collective bargaining within the meaning of Section 9(b) of the Act 5 By refusing, on and after January 9, 1989, to recog- nize and bargain with the Union as the exclusive repre- sentative for purposes of collective bargaining of em- ployees within the unit and by refusing to provide rele- vant information requested of Respondent by the Union, Respondent has violated Section 8(a)(5) and (1) of the Act 6 The above unfair labor practices affect commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the Act THE REMEDY Having found that Respondent has violated Section 8(a)(5) and (1) of the Act, I shall recommend that it be ordered to cease and desist therefrom, to recognize and bargain on request with the Union and, if an understand- ing is reached, to embody the understanding in signed agreement and to provide the Union the current form of the information it requested To ensure that the employees are accorded the
