Heading: Prosecution of the Unfair Labor Practice Charges Before

Text: 15 the Administrative Law Judge and the NLRB 16 The Board's General Counsel brought the unfair labor practice complaints against New Breed before an administrative law judge (ALJ). In an order dated February 14, 1995, the ALJ found that New Breed had violated sections 8(a)(1), 8(a)(3), and 8(a)(5) of the Act by failing to hire Maersk employees in order to avoid becoming a successor employer, and by refusing to recognize and bargain with the Unions. The ALJ recommended that the NLRB order New Breed to reinstate the Maersk employees to their former positions, recognize and bargain with the Unions, and restore the status quo ante with respect to wages and terms and conditions of employment. In addition, the ALJ recommended that New Breed be required to make the employees whole by providing back pay with interest. 17 In an order issued on June 30, 1995, the Board affirmed the ALJ's rulings, findings, and conclusions, and adopted the ALJ's recommended orders. New Breed Leasing Corp., 317 N.L.R.B. 1011, 1995 WL 407188 (1995). The NLRB left the determination of the number of Maersk employees entitled to reinstatement and back pay to the compliance stage of its proceedings. Id. at n. 4. 18 New Breed now petitions for review of the Board's June 30 order. The Board cross-petitions for enforcement of its order.
