TEAMSTER.ORG | A Washington state bottling company that caused a political brewhaha all in an effort to avoid its failure to comply with a collective bargaining agreement involving Local 760 members finally lost its case after nearly six years of litigation and delays.
A federal appeals court last month upheld a December 2014 National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruling that determined Local 760 members working at Noel Canning in Yakima, Wash. had a bargaining agreement with the company since 2010. That NLRB ruling was the same as one made by a different agency panel in 2012.
The case blew up after Noel Canning lost in front of the NLRB four years ago.
