Decided May 7, 1956
351 U.S. 149

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

Syllabus

In the circumstances of this case, where the employer claimed that it could not afford to pay higher wages but refused the union’s request to produce financial data to substantiate this claim, the National Labor Relations Board was justified in finding that the employer had not bargained in good faith and, therefore, had violated § 8(a)(5) of the National Labor Relations Act. Pp. 149-154.

224 F.2d 869 reversed.
