Task: songer_counsel2

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Intervenors who participated as parties at the courts of appeals should be counted as either appellants or respondents when it can be determined whose position they supported. For example, if there were two plaintiffs who lost in district court, appealed, and were joined by four intervenors who also asked the court of appeals to reverse the district court, the number of appellants should be coded as six.
Your task is to determine the nature of the counsel for the respondent. If name of attorney was given with no other indication of affiliation, assume it is private - unless a government agency was the party

PER CURIAM.
This is a petition by the National Labor Relations Board for enforcement of an order against the respondent Union. The proceeding originated upon the complaint of two members of another union who alleged that they had been discriminated against when, upon attempting to register on the out-of-work list of the respondent Local which operated a hiring hall under contract with several employers, they were told that they could not be registered and that they must go to their own union hall to find work. The Board credited the testimony of the complaining would-be employees and found that the respondent had unlawfully refused to register the charging parties properly on its out-of-work list and refused to dispatch them to jobs as would have occurred if their names had „ been properly placed on the list. The Board held this a violation of § 8(b) (1) (A) and (2) of the National Labor Relations Board Act.
In the usual manner the respondent was ordered to cease and desist from failing and refusing to register these parties and was ordered to make them whole for any loss of pay suffered by them because of respondent’s failure or refusal to register them properly and lawfully and respondent was required to post the usual notices. The decision and order of the Board is reported at 140 N.L.R.B. 1090 to which reference may be made for further disclosure of the facts in the case.
The matter before us presents only a question of fact and our inquiry is solely whether the order of the Board was supported by substantial evidence. We hold that it is and accordingly direct that the order of the Board shall be enforced.
So ordered.
