Heading: Employment Policies and Work Conditions

Text: Guardian cites to the undisputed facts that employment policies are formulated centrally; all hiring, firing, transfers, and promotions are done centrally; personnel records are kept in the central office; and all employees, regardless of home office, are subject to the same rules and conditions and are paid on the same scale and given the same benefits and time off. Again, the same was true in Dunbar Armored, where the court nonetheless found substantial evidence to support the NLRB’s conclusions. See 186 F.3d at 846, 848. See also Armco, 832 F.2d at 364 (admitting that uniform wages, hours, and terms of employment are facts in favor of certifying a multi-location bargaining unit, but finding that other factors overcame this factor and did not necessarily imply that the NLRB’s decision was unreasonable); American Seaway, 702 F.2d at 633 (similarity of skills, 12 working conditions, pay and fringe benefits not enough to overcome other factors). Guardian has not provided evidence that the NLRB’s findings in this regard were incorrect.
