NLRB News: Southern Bakeries, LLC ordered to recognize Union, bargain in good faith

On February 5, 2014, the Board authorized the NLRB’s New Orleans Regional Office to institute Section 10(j) injunction proceedings against Southern Bakeries, LLC (Employer) of Hope, Arkansas for its unlawful undermining of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, Local 111 (Union) during negotiations for a successor collective-bargaining agreement, as well as its subsequent withdrawal of recognition of the Union as its employees’ exclusive bargaining representative.

On August 14, 2014, the District Court granted the requested relief, which includes requiring the Employer to, among other things, recognize and bargain in good faith with the Union, grant the Union access to the facility, and post and read the District Court’s order. The Court’s order is available here. More information on the case is available on the NLRB website.
