Inc. v. Plumbers & Steamfitters Local

Union No. 100, United Association of

Journeymen & Apprentices of the

Plumbing & Pipefitting Industry of the

United States and Canada, AFL-CIO, 421

App. 419

U.S. 616 (1975). In each of these
cases, however, the union had entered
into an agreement with one employer or
employer group to use its economic
power to force terms on another
employer or employer group. There is
no valid, probative evidence here that
the IBT entered into an agreement with
Hawaiian Scenic to restrain Rainbow's

business.°”

The Company also argues
that the IBT picketing was unlawful in
that it was secondary in nature and
violative of Section 8(b)(4) of the
Act and/or unlawful in that it was
recognitional at a time the IBT did
not represent any Rainbow drivers and
violative of Section 8(b)(7) of the
Act.

Findings have been entered that

initially the pickets carried signs

App. 420

clearly identifying Rainbow as the
picketed employer and carrying the
legend that Rainbow was paying
substandard wages and its drivers were
not working under a union contract.
Findings have also been enetered that
Rutledge informed Rainbow's drivers
that the initial purpose if the
picketing was informational [to inform
the public and person doing business
with Rainbow of its substandard wages
(admittedly below those of Rainbow's
unionized competitors) and that it was
a nonunion operation.] Findings have
also been entered that the pickets, a
few days after the Rainbow picketing
commenced, began to carry signs
identifying Robert's as a picketed
employer (presumably with similar
messages).

App. 421

The Company cannot reasonably
contend the Rainbow picketing was
intended to bring pressure on another
employer to yield to IBT demands,
Since it is clear Rainbow was the
target of the picketing because it was
causing IBT members to lose job
opportunities to the nonunion sector
of the industry. So the Company
contends the IBT picketing of Rainbow
was secondary because the pickets
marched across a gate shared by
Rainbow and Robert's and a gate posted
as one solely for Robert's use,

thereby violating Moore Dry Dock*°

standards. In the circumstances of
this case, it was the picketing of

Rainbow's operations, whatever gate

the Rainbow buses went through, which
motivated the alleged discriminatees'

App. 422

refusal to work. Even were tne
picketing of the gate allegedly
disignated as solely for Robert's use
by pickets carrying Rainbow signs held
to be unlawful, it is clear this would
not support a finding that the

picketing of the gate used by Rainbow

and Robert‘s (the picketing which the

alleged discriminatees respected) was
unlawful. It is further noted that
Kolt testified he farmed out
asubstantial portion of Rainbow's work
to Robert's for performance by
Robert's buses and drivers during the
picketing; Robert's certainly ceased
to be an unoffending neutral to the
IBT-Rainbow dispute at that point and
became Rainbow's ally, which would

justify picketing both gates.

With reference to the claim of

alleged 8(b)(7) violation, the
evidence indicates initially that the
picket line was not recognitional, a
necessary ingredient to a finding of
violation of Section 8(b)(7), but
rather informational [and the second
proviso to Section 8(b)(7)(C)
specifically excludes informational
picketing from the coverage of the
section]. While picketing may have
been converted into a recognitional
picket line after the alleged
discriminatees (and possibly other
Rainbow employees) signed IBT
authorization cards and the IBT
requested recognition as their
representative (on the third and
fourth day of picketing), the evidence
is insufficient to support a finding

App. 424

that the picketing thereafter became
unlawful in the absence of evidence
concerning the nature of the petition
that the alleged discriminatees (and
possibly others) signed at the IBT
hall for presentation to the NLRB
Regional Office (it may have complied
with the statutory requirement of a
petition filing) or that the cessation
of picketing by February 18 was
sutficiently timely that a finding of
Section 8(b)(7) is not supportable.
For the reasons set out above, I
find and conclude the Company has not
demonstrated by substantial, probative
evidence that the IBT picketing of
Rainbow was unlawful and thereby
deprived the alleged discriminatees of

the protection of the Act.

App. 425

Citing N.L.R.B. v. Union Carbide

Corp., 440 F.2d 54 (4th Cir. 1971),
cert. denied 404 U.S. 826 (1971), and
other cases, the Company next contends
the alleged discriminatees refused to
cross the picket line because they
feared bodily harm, not because they
made common cause with the picketing
union, and therefore their respecting
the picket line was not activity
protected under the Act.

In a 1972 decision,** the Board

rejected the Union Carbide holding,

adopting the statement of the Trial
Examiner in that case that:

contrary to the court's
holding in Union Carbide, the
Board's decisions regard an
employee's motive for honoring a
picket line as irrelevant. Thus,
in Cooper Thermometer Co., 154
NLRB 502, the Board said, at 504:

[T]he focal point of inquiry
in determining whether [an
App. 426

employee's] refusal to cross
the picket line to perform
production work was a
protected activity must of
course be the nature of the
activity itself rather than
the employee's motives for
engaging in the activity.

Accordingly, since I am required
"to apply established Board
precedent which the Board or the
Supreme Court has not reversed,” I
regard as without merit the
Respondent's contention that a
refusal to cross a picket line
isan unprotected activity when it
1s motivated by fear.

Even if one were to apply the

Union Carbide ruling in this case, the

Company's argument lacks merit. While
it may be true Sanford and others
among the 12 alleged discriminatees
failed or refused to cross the IBT
picket line on January 29 and 30
because they feared violence to their
persons, ~* they met together on

January 31 prior to the time Kolt

discharged them, decided to stay
App. 427

together as a group, decided to secure
IBT representation, and thereby joined
cause with the IBT as employees of
Rainbow on strike against it because,
as proclaimed on the IBT picket signs,
Rainbow was paying substandard wages
and they were not working under a
union (IBT) contract.

Thus, both on the basis of Board
doctrine and under the facts and
circumstances of this case, I reject
the Company's contention that the 12
alleged descriminatees were engaged in
conduct unprotected under the Act
because some of their number mav have
refused to cross the IBT picket line
on January 29 and 30 primarily due to
their fear of bodily harm.

The Company contends that in any
event it was entitled to discharge its

App. 428

striking employees and hire permanent
replacements for them in order to
maintain its business operations,

citing N.L.R.B. v. Southern Greyhound

Lines, Division of Greyhound Lines,

Inc.. 426 F.26 1299 (Sth Cir. 1970);

Redwing Carriers, Inc. and Rockana

Carriers, Inc., 137 NLRB 1545 (1962),

Sees eee w eee eee (0.C. Cir. 1963),
cert. denied 377 U.S. 905 (1964); and

Swain & Morris Construction Co., 168

NLRB 1064 (1967), enfd. 431 F.2d 861
(9th Cir. 1970).

While it is well settled that an
employer has a right to terminate
Strikers and hire replacements for
them in order to continue business

> the Board, with court

operations, “*
approval, has developed the doctrine
that the employer's only motive for

App. 429

effecting such terminations must be to
secure performance of the strikers’
work (and not in retaliation for their
withholding their services), and such
termination 1s necessary to secure
perfomances of that work. **

In this case, just the opposite
occurred. The evening after the 12
alleged discriminates informed
McCreadie they were joining the IBT
and supporting its picketing efforts
against the Company, Kolt told them he
would deal with any union other than
the IBT; told them their respecting
and joining the IBT cause demonstrated
their lack of loyalty as contrasted to
the conduct of the other drivers who
remained on the job; and advised them
while he needed them, if they returned

and if he offered them jobs, they

App. 430

would be at the bottom of the
respective full-time and parttime
seniority lists, behind the drivers
who remained on the job. The Board
has ruled on several occasions that an
offer of reinstatement to strikers
accompanied by an announcement that
those who accept such offer will be
accorded the status of new hires, with
consequent loss of their previous
seniority standing, is clearly
retaliation for engaging in activities
protected under the Act unrelated to
any need to continue operations, “°

and a violation of Section 8(a)(1) of
the Act. Kolt's December 15, 1976,
remarks to the drivers, his January 25
comments to Sai, and his remarks at
the January 31 meeting all demonstrate
Kolt's hostility to the IBT and anyone

App. 431

supporting it, particularly as the
representative of any of Rainbow's
employees.

Since Kolt also advised the
drivers at the January 31 meeting that
if they accepted his offer of
reinstatement as new employees, the
first full-time driver rehired would
be number 8 on the full-time seniority
roster and the first part-time driver
rehired would also be number 8 on the
part-time seniority roster, it is
clear vacancies existed**® at that
time. I therefore find and conclude,
by Kolt’s January 31, 1977, discharge
of the 12 discriminatees for refusing
to go through their designated
representatives’ picket line and
accept the status of new employees at
a time there were job vacancies, shows

App. 432

Kolt discharged the 12 alleged
discriminatees in retaliation for
their supporting the IBT picket line
and not solely due to business
considerations. I therefore further
find that by such discharges Kolt
violated Section 8(a)(1) of the Act.

The company next contended that
the alleged discriminatees did not
make an unconditional offer to return
to work and therefore are not entitled
to reinstatement; that Sai in any
event is not entitled to reinstatement
because he was discharged for cause;
and that Kaui is not entitled to
reinstatement because he was a
supervisor.

Since findings have been entered
that the 12 alleged discriminatees
were discharged for engaging in

App. 433

protected concerted activities, the
normal remedy is an order directing
the employer to make a current offer
to reinstate them to their former
positions or, if those positions no
longer exist, to subtantially
equivalent postitions, and to
reimburse them for any wage losses
they have suffered between the date of
such reinstatement. There appears
little reason to depart from that
remedy here, inasmuch as it is readily
apparent the alleged discriminatees
and their representative made it clear
the alleged discriminatees desired

reinstatement, with all rights

restored.

In any event, I find Sanford,
Kaui, Iho, Akamine, Agao, Fonseca,
Iwata, Kaaiai, Kama, Louis, and Sai

App. 434

unconditionally offered to return to
work on February 2, 1977, and G. Wong
would have done so but for receiving a
report that Kolt had refused to
reinstate any of the 11 just named to
their former positions and status.

I further find, in accordance with
factual findings entered heretofore,
that Kolt did not discharge Sai on
February 2, 1977, for cause, i.e., for
calling in sick the previous Sunday
when he was not in fact ill, but
rather only questioned Sai about
appearing outside the picket line
after calling in sick and, after
hearing Sai's explanation, accepting
Sai's application and telling Sai he
would be contacted if needed.

As far as Kaui is concerned, it is
undisputed that Kaui spent 85 to 90

App. 435

percent of his time driving a bus and

10 to 15 percent of his time training
and familiarizing other drivers on
equipment; that Mike Akamine and
Vernon Nelson also did such training;
that Kaui was not authorized to hire
or fire employees, did not hire or
fire employees, and did not direct
employees in the performance of their
work. I therefore find and conclude
Kaui was not a supervisor within the
meaning of the Act. It is true that
Kaui did not have a valid health card
at the time he was interviewed by Kolt
on February 2, 1977. It is undisputed
that Kaui’‘s health card expired on
January 23, 1977; that McCreadie was
aware of such expiration, aware that
on January 21, 1977, Kaui scheduled a
medical appointment for the purpose of

App. 436

securing its renewal for February 4,

1977, and authorized Kaui to continue
to drive, which he did, between
January 23 and 28, 1977; and that Kaui
secured a renewal of his health card
on February 4, 1977. On the basis of
the foregoing, I find Kaui is entitled
to reinstatement under the Act.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

l. At all pertinent times Rainbow
was an employer engaged in commerce in
a business affecting commerce and the
IBT and ILWU were labor organization
within the meaning of Section 2(2),
(5), (6), and (7) of the Act.

2. At times pertinent Kolt and
McCreadie were supervisors and agents
of Rainbow acting on its behalf within

the meaning of Act.

App. 437

3. At times pertinent Kaui was

not a supervisor of the Company acting
on its behalf.

4. Rainbow violated Section
8(a)(1) of the Act on December 15,
1976, by Kolt‘'s statement that Rainbow
would lose several major accounts that
he brought in, its new buses, and his
continued efforts and participation in
and on behalf of Rainbow if they
sought and secured union
representation.

5. Rainbow violated Section
8(a)(1) of the Act on January 3l,
1977, by discharging employees
Sanford, Kaui, Iho, Akamine, Agao,
Fonseca, Iwata, Kaaiai, Kama, Louis,
Sai, and G. Wong in retaliation for

their support of the IBT.

App. 438

The above unfair labor practices

affected commerce as defined in the
Act.
THE REMEDY

Having found the Company
interfered with the rights of Sanford,
Kaui, Iho, Akamine, Agao, Fonseca,
Iwata , Kaaiai, Kama, Louis, Sai, and
G. Wong to engage in protected
concerted activities by discharging
them for refusing to cross the picket
line at its premises, I shall
recommend the Company be directed to
cease and desist therefrom and take
the following affirmative action
designed to effectuate the purposes of
the Act: Offer the 12 persons just
named reinstatement to their former
jobs or, if those jobs no longer
exist, to substantially equivalent

App. 439

jobs, with full restoration of their

seniority and other rights and
privileges as they existed prior to
their discharge, and reimburse the 12
persons for all wages and interest
thereon computed in the manner

prescribed in F.W. Woolworth Company,

90 NLRB 289 (1950) and Fiorida Steel

Corporation, 231 NLRB 651 (1977),°’

and post appropriate notice thereof.
Having further found that the Company
interfered with the rights of its
employees to seek and secure union
representation by threatening the
employees with loss of business, ioss
of new buses, and loss of services of
the manager who brought in major new
business (and therefore an implied
threat of loss of their jobs) if they
sought and secured union

App. 440

representation, I shall recommend the
Company be directed to cease and
desist therefrom and post appropriate
notice thereof.

On basis of the foregoing findings
of fact, conclusions of law, and the
entire record, and pursuant of Section
10(c) of the Act, I recommend the
issuance of the following:

ORDER“ *

The Respondent Rainbow Tours,
Inc., d/b/a Rainbow Coaches, Honolulu,
Hawaii, its officers, agents,
successors, and assigns, shall:

its employees to seek and secure union
representation in violation of Section
8{a)(1) of the Act by threatening them
with loss of business, new buses, the

App. 441

services of the manager who brought in
that new business, and loss of
employment if they sought and secured
union representation.

(b) Interfering with the right of
its employees to engage in protected,
concerted activity in violation of
Section 8(a)(l1) of the Act by
discharging them for refusing to cross
a picket line established at its

(c) In any like or related manner
interfering with, restraining, or
-coercing its employees in the exercise
of the rights guaranteed them under
Section 7 of the Act.

seniority and other rights and
privileges.

(b) Make Henry Sanford, Ralph
Kaui, Ross Iho, Michael Akamine, Jay
Agao, James Louis, Paul Iwata, G. Lane
Kaaiai, Ronald Sai, Garrett Wong,
Miles Fonseca, and Eric Kama whole for
any loss of earnings they may have

FOOTNOTES
Hereinafter called Teamsters or
IBT or the Union.
, This case was consolidated with
Cases 37-CA-1341 and 37-CA-1342 after
the hearing commenced (see Statement
of the Case infra, for details).
. Hereafter called Rainbow or the
Company.
& Pursuant to the General Counsel's
motion, certain errors in the
transcript have been noted and are
hereby corrected.
: I find at all times pertinent
Fukunaga, Kolt, and McCreadie were
Supervisors and agents on behalf of
both TA and its successor, Rainbow.
. The four lease-purchase
agreements were executed on December
1, 1976, and provided for the delivery
of four buses on December 1, 1976, two
buses on December 13, 1976, two buses
on December 20, 1976, and the final
two buses on December 28, 1976.
. The terms for such services were
not developed in the record.
: The Company employed both
full-time and part-time drivers.
: New drivers were brought over
from Hawaiian Scenic by Kolt; they and
Kolt had developed friendly relations

leases.

kia McCreadie was popular with the
drivers. ‘
a The findings contained in this
Paragraph are based upon the testimony
of Kolt and several of the drivers who
attended the meeting. . Kolt
corroborated the drivers’ testimony
except for their testimony concerning
the remarks set out in the last
sentence. I credit the drivers'
testimony on the basis of the logical
relation of the remarks to the general
tenor of Kolt's earlier comments, his
October comments, and the mutual
corroboration and clarity of the
drivers’ recollection.

es Kolt testified the roster was
posted sometime between Janaury 15,
1977, and the first day the IBT
picketed Rainbow's yard. It was
established the picketing began on
Saturday, January 29, 1977.

worked for a few days, and did not
work thereafter.

sie By this time the pickets were
also carrying signs saying Robert's
was unfair.
ale Richard Yamanaka, Peter Sataraka,
and Pablo Ripani commenced work as
full-time drivers on January 3l.
While the seniority roster posted in
late January lists Sataraka with a
seniority date of January 17, the work
records do not disclose he worked on
that date or any date prior to January
31.
he Henry Hanalei Kaaihue and Walter
Nelson indicated their interest in
going to work for the Company at the
Janaury 30 meeting at the Rainbow
yard, provided they were assured
full-time employment and retention
when the picketing ceased, which Kolt
promised.
see McCreadie confirmed, however,
that Sanford and Iwata had been
discharged and would not be reinstated.
App. 448

The group was so advised by
Arthur Rutledge, the IBT president,
and another IBT representative.
Rutledge also told them the original
purpose of the picket line was
“informational”.

si Ten of the twelve alleged
discriminatees were there (Sanford,
Kaui, Iho, Akamine, Agao, Iwata,
Louis, Kaaiai, Sai, and G. Wong);
Fonseca and Kama did not attend, but
were notified by the attendees what
transpired at the meeting. Others of
the original group of 19 also attended
(Herman Kalahiki and A. Wong).

sib Kolt first took the position they
were replaced.

is He stated he would return to the
Rainbow yard after the meeting and
remain there until midnight, and if
they wanted jobs, to apply as
individuals before midnight.

= The full-time drivers listed on
the full-time seniority roster below
alleged discriminatees Sanford, Kaui,
Iho, Akamine, and Agao were seven in
number. The record does not disclose
the identity of the seven part-time
drivers who worked during the
picketing.

sh Rutledge asked Kolt to authorize
him to tell the drivers who had signed
IBT cards that they had an agreement

App. 449

at a meeting he had scheduled with the
card signers that evening.

All but G. Wong.

Agao, Akamine, and Iho's
testimony to this effect was
uncontradicted and is credited.
A Kaui kept the appointment and
secured a valid health card on
February 4.

All five had previously been
part-time employees.
Louis and Iwata, however, were
given work assignments for February 3
by telephone. Kamaka was given a work
assignment on February 2. The record
does not disclose when or how Kalahiki
and A. Wong received their work
assignments.
a Sunset Hawaii-Hawaiian
Beachcomber Tours, associated
companies, notified Kolt on February
l, 1977, that they were discontinuing
use of Rainbow until the labor dispute
was concluded.
‘= On January 29 the Company farmed
out 145-1/2 hours of work received
from its customers to its competitors
for performance; the Company normally
charged it customers between $24 and
$32 per hour for its services. On
January 30, the Company farmed out
119-1/2 hour; on January 3l, 138-1/2
hours.

me Who I find were notified of

Kolt's statements later.
a Kolt testified he did not foresee
a need for any more than 1l full-time
drivers for some time (the size of his
full-time driver complement prior to
January 29). The record does not
disclose the size of his part-time
driver complement prior to January 29
or the number the Company intended to
retain on and after January 3l. In
view of his statement at the meeting
that he intended to put all full-time
and part-time drivers who demonstrated
their loyalty to the Company by
working during the picketing, ahead of
any of the alleged discriminatees who
applied; his disparaging remarks
concerning their courage and loyalty
to him; and the nature and number of
job offers he made when they appeared
on February 2, the nature and extent
of Kolt's offer of reinstatement at
the January 31 meeting is ambiguous at
best.
— Kolt's testimony that a former
Hawaiian Scenic employee he hired told
Kolt by telephone that he appeared at
the IBT picket line the previous day
because he had been told to do so when
he reported for work is hearsay and
falls far short of establishing a
conspiratorial agreement between
Hawaiian Scenic and the IBT to
restrain Rainbow's business; is
ambiguous; and the fact Hawaiian
Scenic drivers were among the pickets
App. 451

is likewise insufficient proof of such
company.

Martinez, and I. Sataraka as nos. 6

roster; moving the latter seven up
would change their numerical order to

the Company's employ prior to January
App. 452

29 (when the picketing commenced) and
was not replaced, it appears Kolt was
offering Sanford, Kaui, Iho, Akamine,
and Agao reinstatement in seniority
slots 7 through 1l if they accepted
his offer of employment as new hires,
the reverse of their seniority
positions prior to joining the IBT.
The record does not disclose the
positions of the part-time alleged
discriminates on the part-time
seniority roster, but it may be
presumed reasonably that one of them
were numbered between 1 and 7 prior to
joining the IBT.
