Ambassador Services, Inc. (“Ambassador”) petitions this Court for review 

of the National Labor Relations Board’s Decision and Order, which found

Ambassador in violation of Sections 8(a)(1) and 8(a)(5) of the National Labor 

Relations Act (the “NLRA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 158(a)(1), (5). The Board crosspetitions for enforcement of its order. 

On appeal, Ambassador claims that substantial evidence did not support the 

Board’s decisions that 

• John Martin was a statutory supervisor;

• Donnie May’s conduct violated NLRA § 8(a)(1); 

• Ambassador’s safety rule prohibiting “walking off the job” 

violated NLRA § 8(a)(1); 

• Ambassador did not establish that a majority of employees 

signed the decertification petition; and

• Ambassador unlawfully failed and refused to recognize and 

bargain with the Union.

After oral argument and careful consideration of the entire record and all of the 

merits issues, we conclude that substantial evidence supported the Board’s 

determinations. Thus, we affirm the Board’s decision and grant the Board’s 

petition for enforcement.

For the foregoing reasons, we DENY Ambassador’s petition for review and 

GRANT the Board’s cross-petition for enforcement of its order in full.
