We vacate our previous opinion, filed on November 12, 2015, and substitute
this opinion in its place.
Ambassador Services, Inc. (“Ambassador”) petitions this Court for review of
the National Labor Relations Board’s Decision and Order, which found
Ambassador in violation of Sections 8(a)(1) and 8(a)(5) of the National Labor
Relations Act (the “NLRA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 158(a)(1), (5). The Board cross-
petitions for enforcement of its order.
On appeal, Ambassador claims that substantial evidence did not support the
Board’s decisions that
• John Martin was not a statutory supervisor;
• Donnie May’s conduct violated NLRA § 8(a)(1);
• Ambassador’s safety rule prohibiting “walking off the job”
violated NLRA § 8(a)(1);
• Ambassador did not establish that a majority of employees
signed the decertification petition; and
• Ambassador unlawfully failed and refused to recognize and
bargain with the Union.
After oral argument and careful consideration of the entire record and all of the
merits issues, we conclude that substantial evidence supported the Board’s
determinations. Thus, we affirm the Board’s decision and grant the Board’s
petition for enforcement.
