Hiring at Maritime is effected through the, shape-up ¥
(B.A. 18a; 56a-d7a). Pursuant to this system men .
_ seeking employment gather at Maritime's place of busi-
ness at about 7:30 aim. each work day where, upon
signal, they present themselves (‘‘shape-up"’) for selec-
tion by Maritime’s hiring foremen to fill the available
jobs (B.A. 18a; 54a-55a). The hiring’ foremen are
members of the Union and follow the uniform ‘practice
of employing union members in preference to other
“applicants (B.A. 18a, 21a; 49a, 55a, 59a, T0a-71a, 74a).
Thus applicants are classified in the shape-up as (1)
hook men (sometimes also called button men) ; (2) card
men; (3) those who have neither books nor cards (B.A.
19a-20a; 55a-56a). These terms refer to the union
status of the applicant. Book men are full fledged
members of the Union (B.A. 19a; 56a). They are is-’
sued a new and differently colored button each month
upon payment to the Union of the month’s dues (B.A.
19a; 49a-50a ). The buttons are worn by the members
in prominent display,-and are used to identify the
weareras a member of the Union in good standing
(B.A, 19a-20a ; 49a-50a, 98a, Tla) and thereby qualify-
ing him for preference in hiring as required by the
consiitttion of the International. Longshoremen’s As-
sociation (B: A. 20a; 92a).

Card men are not union members, but. are approved
by the Union for work for a monthly period. upon pay-
ment of a: fee-equivalent to a month's dues (B.A. 19a;
49a, 56a). “However, an individual who acquires cards
for 12 consecutive: months,and who has 700 hours of
waterfront work experience is eligible for full mem-
bership in, the Union (B.A. 19a; 49a). ;

7

©
At each morning shape-up the hiring foremen make
the first job assignments to book men (B.A. 21a; 59a,

“4a). If there are remaining jobs after the supply of

hook men: haye been exhausted, assignments are then
made among the-card men (B.A, 2la; 59a, 72a, 74a).
Ik inally, if any work remains, the foremen make their
selections from-applicants who have neither a. union

hook nor a permit card (ibid.). The only: occasions

upon which non-members are hired in preference to
union members are instances where: the member is he-

ing disciplined for a. violation of a union or contract.

rule,,or where a special work assignment has been_re-
served for the member (B.A. 22a ; DTa-D9a ),

Marvin Gould and Zack Page were not members of
the Union, but had worked at Maritime as card men

since 1955 and 1952, respectively (B.A. 20a-21a, 28a-

29a; d9a-Wa, T2a-Tda, T7aj. Following a November
1956 strike in the Philadelphia waterfront, the Union
initially refused to issue cards to Gould and Pave he-
eause they had not performed picket duty, but with-
drew the refusal several days later when the unfair
labor practice charges were filed in this case (B.A, 20a-
2la; 67a-63a). Giotild and Page, however, neither re-
quested nor obtained cards after.the initial refusal, but
they continued to shape-up each morning at Maritime
(B.A..21a, 29a+30a ; 67a-69a, Ta, qa). In this role
they were accorded the lowest priority ‘under the hiring

system, regardless of their employment experience, and

accordingly obtained employment only whenever the
supply of book men and card men did not exhaust the
available work assignments (B.A. 308; 69a-7Ua).

‘B. The —— s Conclusions and cn

The Board concluded that the Union, by entering into
and taking part in the hiring practices at Maritime
through foremen subject to union discipline, caused
discrimination in favor of union members, and thereby .

jolated Section 8(b)(2) and (1)(A) of the Act: By
# part in subjecting employees Gould and Page tothis ~
discriminatory practice, the Union was similarly found
’ to have violated these statutory provisions. The Board
also concluded that the union security provisions in the
1954 and 1957 contracts were invalid, and that ‘the
Union had further ‘violated Section 8(b (2) and -(1).
-(A) of the Act by maintaining them in effect. The in-
validity of the union security clauses was premised on
alternative grounds: first, that the language which
purported to defer the clause granting preference t
union members could not be given effect, Decause the
hiring practice showed that ‘the, parties never Ye: sliy
intended to postpone operation of the preference sys-
tem’’ (B.A. da); and second, that the deferral language
was ‘so obscure that a workingman covered by its pro-.
visions could hardly be expected to know when union
membership was required and when it was not’ ( id.,
n. 3). In addition, the union security clause in the
1957 contract was found to be independently unlawful,
in view of the fact that the Union had not complied with
the filing re quirements of the Act ‘at: the time such

agreement was exectited (B.A. 8a-4a, 18a, Ba, 292-302)...

/ To remedy the foregoing violations the Board's order
requires the Union to cease, and desist.frem entering
into or maintaining any agreement or practice: with
Maritime or any other employer member of- Philadel-

9 s
phia Marine Trade Association, under which union
nmiembers are given preference, in employment, except
to the extent authorized by S section 8(a) (3) of the Act:
from causing Maritime fo diseriminate unlawfully |
the employment of Marvin Gould and Zac k Page, or
-any other applicant; and from in any other.manner re-
straining or coercing Maritime’s employees in the exer-
cise of the rights guaranteed in See tion 7 of thie Act.
—Aftirmatively, the Board's order requires the Union to
reimburse Maritime’s employees for all-fees, dues and

» other monies collected pursuant to the wnlawlul eou-

tracts and diseriminatory hiring practices, to make
whole Gould and Page for any Rane ial wages Incurred as:
a result-of the discriminationagainst them, and to post
appropriate hotices. (BJA. da-Ta.) . :

C2. The Decision of the Court of Appeals,

Phe Court of Appeals sustained the Boagd’s unfair
labor practice findings, and granted enforcement of its
order, except that portion requiring re ‘imbursement of
monies paid to the Union. Enforcement of the latter
portion was denied upon the authority and rewsoning

as a remedy for hiring practices which unlawfully en-
courage union membership, may require that monies
paid by the ‘employ ees to the union w wa subjected to
thoge practices be repaid to them, The Same question

to their bringing charges‘the parties were informed that

- the Union had reseinded its refusal to issue the cards,

However, neither. again sought them.

The Union resists enforcement of the Board's: orde or’

on the grounds that any discriminatory hiring practices

at Maritime were the unilateral action of Maritime’s

hiring foremen and there was insufficient evidence to
support a finding that the Union participated therein;

and the union security clause in the colleetive bargain-

ing agreements‘was not unlawful since it was couched in
terms of a ‘‘savings”’ or ‘deferral’ clause. The Union

also contests:the Board's application of the ** Brown--

Olds Rule’ in its remedy.
The Union does not question, and we shall not con-

sider, the finding that it was unauthorized to: make a:

union security contract in 1957 for failure to comply

- with Section 9(f), (2) and (h) of the Act, nor the denial

of its motion, at the hearing, for prodnetion of names

Union Participation

The hiring svstem was based upon the union status of
the men shaping-up-—-that is whether they had buttens,
cards or neither—and it was the Union who determined
that status and either issued, oF refused to issue, a but-
ton or a card. When some nine to twelve card nien,
including the, complainants Page and Goulds did not:
walk -a picket line the Union reftited to issue them
cards, This action might have been meaningless as a
disciplinary measure if the Union had not heen com-
pletely aware that without a card, auployment oppor-
tunity was greatly reduced under Maritime’s hiring
practiced) The constitution of the International pro-
vides thaf only the regular PLA button ‘shall be ree-
ognized in the ‘hiring of men for. work” and provides
a penalty for violations, The constitution was sup-

* plem nted on the lecal level by the collective bargain-
ing agreements raljing for hiring preference for Union
members.’

The sum of this is a elear indic. ation of a -Enion pol-
icy or practice of preferential hiring. The Trial Rx-
aminer held: |

“* "© that where the circumstances disclose the
establishment ‘or imposition ‘of a discriminatory
hiring polity by or for a local union, that union
may be held responsible where discrimination. is
a proximate and foreseeable consequence of the’
operation of the-policy, and discrimination in fact

results. This is not to impose upon the local re-
sponsibility for programs or conduct-over which it
~ has no control. It is merely to hold it accountable
“for its own action. If the loeal wishes to avoid
liability in such situations there are effective meth-
ods by which it may disavow the offending policy.”

At the hearing, tie Union attempted to rebut this evi-
dence with testimony that the hiring foremen were not |
aware of the:clause in the Internatfonal constitution.
The Examiner did not credit this testimony since only
one.of the five foremen would .so testify. Testimony
that the local was orally advised B¥ the Lnternational

>that the hiring’ clause_in-the constitution was nof en-.
forced and that locals, in any event, have blanket an-
thority to ignore any’ provision in the constitution
which they deem illegal was considered }*incredible”’
‘by the Examiner in the teeth of evidence that other pro-
visions are followed and enforced, particularly a‘spe-
cific method for dealing with the problem of illegal pro-
visions, And the constitution itself declares uni) and
void any local by-law in conflict with the constitution.
The question of credibility of: testimony is within the
Trial Examiner's domain. ‘** * * it is not our task
to resolve questions of credibility of those who testify
at the Board hearings.”* National Laber Relations
Board v. Local 420, eti., 239 F.2d 827, 528.09 Cir. 1956),
The Union attempts to meet the Examiner's finding
by averring that union participation in unfair prae-
tices must be proved by chrect evidence. We are of
the opinion that this is erroneous. It is true that many
of the cases cited by the Board in support of its position
contain indisputable evidence thatthe offending union...
formally requested or demanded that the company fol-
low a discriminatory hiring practice. -Nee e.g. National
Lhahor Relations Board v. Local 369, ete., 240 F.2a 539 -
(3 Cir. 1956) ; National Labor Relations Board v. Local

: 17

420, ete., 239. F.2d 327 (: 3 Cir. 1956). But these deci- —
sions do not establish a minimum standard for finding
_ union. participation. In fact in National Labor Rela-
tions:Board ¥. Local 369, supra, at 544, this court stated :

“The absence of proof that the Union spec ifically re-

quested the Company to discriminate is not critical
wheré there is substantial evidence to support the find-

-ing of a dis-riminatory hiring arrangement actively
‘participated’in by the Union.” The Board may, as it
did here, dvaw a reasonable inference from the believ-
able evidence. It must, of course, be supported by sub-
stantial evidence but an-inference as such is not pro-
“seribed by the Act. This has been settled by Radio Offi-
cers vy. Labor Board, 347 U.S. 17, 48-52 (1954). There,
Union participation was proved but the unfair practice,
encouragement of union membership, was inferred by
the Board. The Court, in upholding the Bogrd said at
page 92:

Since encouragement of union membership is ob-
viously a natural and foreseeable consequence of
any employer discrimination at the request of a
. Union, those employers must be presumed to have.
intended such encouragement. It follows that. it
was eminently reasonable for the Board to infer
encouragement of union membership * * *."", .
Conversely, the unfair practice being proved, the Board
may make a reasonable inference from all the evidenie
that the Union participated in such practice. **The
unfair labor -practice can be found from a procedure
which shows a practice or understanding though it may’
not establish an express contract between the parties.”
National Labor Relatiotis Board v. Loe al 420, supra at
:
— The Union’s contention that direct evidence, rather
than inference, is necessary to implic ate jt in the unfair

18
pfactices is set\yt rest by the following language in Ra-
dio Officers, supraat 50:

“There is vothing in the language of the amend-
ment [Taft-Hartley] itself that suggests denial to
the Board of power to draw reasonable inferences.
It is inconceivable that the authors of the reports
[ House Reports on Taft-Hartley] intended such a
result; for a fact-finding body must have’ some
power to decide which inferences to draw and
which to reject. We therefore conclude that in-
sofar as the power to draw reasonable inferences
ix concerned, Taft-Hartley did not alter prior law.”’

‘

The testimony in this instane ¢ is sufficient to support
the resulting inference of the Board. Whether this
court would have arrived at: the same result is of no
“matter. Our review is.limited to the sufficiency of the.
supporting evidence, Universal Camera Corp, v. Labor

Board, 340 U.S. supra, 488. :

s . II °
Union Security Cliuse.

We turn now to the legality of the union security
clause contained in’ the collective bargaining agree-
ments between the Union and Maritime. It reads:

*Unton Security: As to any and all work covered
hereunder, finally determined by duly constituted
public authority, not to be subject to any statute
forbidding a preferential hiring provision, the em-
ployers agree to give preference to men who are
“members of the Unjon in good standing. As to all
', other work, the employers agree to institute and
maintain a unien shop as shall comply with Sec-
tion 8(a)(3) of the National Labor Relations *Act
or any amendment, thereto.”’

Ae eee

The Board found that- this ae in both the 1954
and 1957 ag ‘coments, was illegal despite the deferral
language therein, This decision was based on the tind-
ing that, since the parties immediately, began dmple-
menting the preferential portion without regard to the
deferral language, the clause was executed with the
present intent to create dise ‘riminatory conditions of
employment. ee aye ta

The Union counters, that a collective bargaining
agreement valid on its fuce cannot be converted inte an
ilhegal hiring clause because of subseqacit diserimina-

tory practices. This argument can be dismissed as not:

meeting the issue, The Board found: that the Agree-
ment was not valid in faet, from its ery meception, it

‘cannot be seriously argued that the mere recitation of”

words in a proper aud accepted form can throw a blan-
“ket absolution over illegal acts presently performed

~ under a clause, included in a contract, purportedly to:

cover a future possibility. of legal sanction,

Finding as.we do, it is unnec essary to discuss the -
ssue whether the clause meets. the requirement, of
‘clear and unequivocal’ set forth in Lewis v. Quality »

Coal Corp., 270 F.2d 140 (7 Cir, 1959). However in

‘passing, it should be pointed out that the elanse in.

volved, in both meaning and clarity, is a far ery from
the one discussed in the Lewis opinion.

IIT:
Th e Remedy

¢
The sole remaining problem is the Board's. appliea-
tion of the * Brown-Olds Rule.” Ina recent decis jon,

National Labor Relations Board v. American Dredging

Company, —° F.2d (3 Cir, 1960), this court de-
clined to enforce the rule against an émplover who
“neither dominated the union nor collected the-fees and
dues, Further, there was no evidence in the record iit-

’

-dicating that employees were required to join the union.

as a condition to obtaining employment. ‘Requiring the
"employer in that situation to reimburse fees and dues
paid to their union would be a windfall for the em-
plovees, and in no, way effectuate the purposes of the
Act. And in National Labor Relations Board v. United
States Steel Corporation (American Bridge Division)
and Loeal Union 542, AFL-CIO, FP2d 7) (3 Cir.
1960), we have continued to insist that the reimburse-
ment order must be limited to employees shown to have
been coerced.) And we emphasize that in such alleged
_ Instances it is necessary to produce evidence of coercion
as to each individual concerning whom it is asserted.
Since the record before us furnishes no proof of that
type weare forced to refuse the part of the Board's
order allowing: reimbursement to employees for fees
and dues they had paid. Regarding Marvin Gould and
Zack Page, they are to be made whole for any loss of
pay incurred by them as a result of the discrimination
against them above stated.

~ The Board's order will be enforced except as to Para-
graph 2(a) thereof which will be stricken.

The notice called for by Paragraph (¢) of the Order
will be amended by striking out its last paragraph. A
decree in accordance with this opinion may be submit-
ted. |
