Task: songer_appel1_1_2

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.
When coding the detailed nature of participants, use your personal knowledge about the participants, if you are completely confident of the accuracy of your knowledge, even if the specific information is not in the opinion. For example, if "IBM" is listed as the appellant it could be classified as "clearly national or international in scope" even if the opinion did not indicate the scope of the business. 

Your task concerns the first listed appellant. The nature of this litigant falls into the category "private business (including criminal enterprises)". Your task is to classify the scope of this business into one of the following categories: "local" (individual or family owned business, scope limited to single community; generally proprietors, who are not incorporated); "neither local nor national" (e.g., an electrical power company whose operations cover one-third of the state); "national or multi-national" (assume that insurance companies and railroads are national in scope); and "not ascertained".

PER CURIAM.
In this proceeding the petitioner-employer seeks to review and set aside an order of the National Labor Relations Board finding it guilty of unfair labor practices in a number of particulars and providing certain remedial relief. The Board, in turn, cross-petitions for enforcement of its order, and Local 525, Meat, Food and Allied Workers Union, Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, AFL-CIO has intervened in support of the Board.
We enforce the order of the Board except for its finding that the speech of the petitioner’s president to the employees was “unlawfully coercive” in violation of the Act. In our opinion such speech constituted protected speech and may not be found to be a violation of the Act. NLRB v. Gissel Packing Co. (1969) 395 U.S. 575, 616-20, 89 S.Ct. 1918, 23 L.Ed.2d 547; N.L.R.B. v. Threads, Incorporated (4th Cir. 1962) 308 F.2d 1 at 8 and 9; N.L.R.B. v. Ogle Protection Service, Inc. (6th Cir. 1967) 375 F.2d 497 at 505. The other findings and conclusions of the Board, on the other hand, are supported by substantial evidence, and the order of the Board will be enforced as to them.
ENFORCEMENT GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.
. 223 NLRB No. 36.
