NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, Petitioner,v.SMITTY'S MEAT MARKET, INC., Respondent.
No. 94-5980.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Oct. 18, 1994.

Before:  MILBURN, RYAN and NORRIS, Circuit Judges.

JUDGMENT

1
The National Labor Relations Board (the "Board") applies for summary enforcement of its March 31, 1994, decision and order in Case Nos. 8-CA-25428-1 and 8-CA-25428-2 in which the Board found the respondent violated federal labor law and directed the respondent to take certain remedial steps enumerated therein.  Although the respondent appeared at the trial before the Administrative Law Judge (the "ALJ"), it did not file exceptions from the ALJ's decision.  Likewise, it has not filed a response to the present application.  Under these circumstances, we conclude the Board is entitled to the relief sought.   See NLRB v. Tri-State Warehouse & Distributing, Inc., 677 F.2d 31 (6th Cir.1982) (order) (in the absense of extraordinary circumstances, a Board decision and order is entitled to summary enforcement if no exceptions are filed with the Board);   NLRB v. Innkeepers of Ohio, Inc., 596 F.2d 177 (6th Cir.1979) (order) (same).


2
It therefore is ORDERED that the Board's decision and order in Case Nos. 8-CA-25429-1 and 8-CA-25428-2 is hereby enforced.  The respondent, Smitty's Meat Market, Inc., Toledo, Ohio, its officers, agents, successors, and assigns, shall:

1. Cease and desist from:

3
(a) Directly or impliedly threatening employees with discharge, conveying to employees that the filing of grievances would be futile, threatening to lock employees out or to eliminate jobs, and otherwise harassing employees because they had engaged in union or other protected activity.


4
(b) Discriminatorily changing the hours of, demoting and reducing the pay of employees and discharging then because of their union or other protected activities.


5
(c) Failing and refusing to furnish United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local No. 626, AFL-CIO (the "Union") with requested wage and personnel data which is necessary for and relevant to the performance of the Union's duties as exclusive collective bargaining representative of the unit employees, and unilaterally changing its employees' wage rates.


6
(d) In any like or related manner interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed them by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (the "Act").


7
2. Take the following affirmative action necessary to effectuate the policies of the Act:


8
(a) Offer Daniel Punches immediate and full reinstatement to his former job or, if that job no longer exists, to a substantially equivalent position, without prejudice to his seniority or any other rights or privileges previously enjoyed, and make him whole for any loss of earnings and other benefits suffered as a result of the discrimination against him in the manner set forth in the remedy section of the Administrative Law Judge's decision.


9
(b) Remove from its files any reference to the unlawful demotion and constructive discharge and notify the employee in writing that this has been done and that the demotion and discharge will not be used against him in any way.


10
(c) Bargain in good faith with the Union and furnish it with the requested personnel and wage data information which is necessary for, and relevant to, the Union's performance of its duties as exclusive collective bargaining representative of the employees in the following unit which is appropriate for collective bargaining pursuant to Section 9(b) of the Act:


11
All journeymen and apprentice meat cutters and sausage makers, including the head meat cuter, and all clerks, employed by Smitty's Meat Markets, Inc. at its facility in Toledo, Ohio, excluding all guards and supervisors as defined in the Act.


12
(d) Preserve and, on request, make available to the Board or its agents for examination and copying, all payroll records, social security payment records, timecards, personnel records and reports, and all other records necessary to analyze the amount of backpay due under the terms of this judgment.


13
(e) Post at its facility in Toledo, Ohio, copies of the attached notice marked "Appendix."   Copies of the notice, on forms provided by the Regional Director for Region 8 of the National Labor Relations Board (Cleveland, Ohio), after being signed by the respondent's authorized representative, shall be posted by the respondent immediately upon receipt and maintained for 60 consecutive days in conspicuous places including all places where notices to employees are customarily posted.  Reasonable steps shall be taken by the respondent to ensure that the notices are not altered, defaced, or covered by any other material.


14
(f) Notify the Regional Director, in writing, within 20 days from the date of this judgment, what steps the respondent has taken to comply with this judgment.
