The Supreme Court on Monday declined to review whether an Illinois car dealership violated federal labor law by closing a dealership where its mechanics were union-represented and moving them to an affiliated, nonunion dealership where it refused to recognize the union.
Without comment, the justices left intact a U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decision upholding a National Labor Relations Board order that Burke Automotive Group Inc. and Dodge of Naperville Inc. committed unfair labor practices by refusing to bargain with the union over the effect of the move or recognizing the union as the mechanics’ bargaining representative after the move.
