Task: songer_typeiss

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the general category of issues discussed in the opinion of the court. Choose among the following categories. Criminal and prisioner petitions- includes appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence or the validity of continued confinement. Civil - Government - these will include appeals from administrative agencies (e.g., OSHA,FDA), the decisions of administrative law judges, or the decisions of independent regulatory agencies (e.g., NLRB, FCC,SEC). The focus in administrative law is usually on procedural principles that apply to administrative agencies as they affect private interests, primarily through rulemaking and adjudication. Tort actions against the government, including petitions by prisoners which challenge the conditions of their confinement or which seek damages for torts committed by prion officials or by police fit in this category. In addition, this category will include suits over taxes and claims for benefits from government. Diversity of Citizenship - civil cases involving disputes between citizens of different states (remember that businesses have state citizenship). These cases will always involve the application of state or local law. If the case is centrally concerned with the application or interpretation of federal law then it is not a diversity case. Civil Disputes - Private - includes all civil cases that do not fit in any of the above categories. The opposing litigants will be individuals, businesses or groups.

SCHNACKENBERG, Circuit Judge.
The National Labor Relations Board seeks enforcement of its order against Wigwam Mills, Inc., respondent, a manufacturer at Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
That order followed the Board’s review of proceedings before a trial examiner. It adopted his findings, conclusions and recommendations.
Two cases were involved. One was based on unfair labor practices charged by the United Textile Workers of America, AFL-CIO (“the Union”). The other arose out of a representation election conducted under the Board’s auspices among respondent’s employees, which the Union lost by a vote of 219 to 154.
Respondent contends that in the record there is no evidence to support the charges against it and the findings upon which the Board’s order rests.
It also contends that there is evidence that the trial examiner was biased against it, preventing him from making a fair and reasonable decision, and shifting to this court the responsibility of determining the credibility of witnesses.
From our examination of the record, we conclude that it does not support the charge of prejudice by the examiner.
We hold that there is substantial evidence in the record to support the findings that respondent violated Section 8(a) (1) of the Act, by interfering with, restraining and coercing its employees in the exercise of their statutory right to select a bargaining agent, and that it discharged employee Ruth Engl because of her union activities, in violation of Section 8(a) (3) and (1) of the Act.
The questions of credibility of witnesses are not for this court to determine.
The order of the Board will be enforced in full.
Order enforced.
