Before LUMBARD, Chief Judge, and WATERMAN and FRIENDLY, Circuit Judges.
This is a petition to review and set aside an order of the National Labor Relations Board, to which the Board has responded with a cross-petition seeking enforcement. Issued on August 13, 1962, the order was based upon the Board's determination that petitioner had violated Sections 8(a) (1) and 8(a) (3) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 151 et seq. The decision and order of the Board, adopting the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Trial Examiner, are reported at 138 N.L.R.B. 95. As the Board's findings were amply supported by the record as a whole, we deny the petition to set aside the order and grant the cross-petition to enforce it.
The determination that Section 8(a) (3) had been violated was based upon findings that petitioner, during a union effort to organize its plant, had discharged two employees for union activity. Petitioner claimed that it had discharged the two employees because of adverse economic conditions, but petitioner's foreman stated during the hearing that he had selected one of these two employees for discharge because he had the least seniority among the workers and because the foreman knew that he "was one of the boys that came in with the Union organizers"; and then admitted that petitioner did not ordinarily lay off its employees on a seniority basis. The Board's finding that the other employee had been discharged because of union activity was based upon his testimony that the official who had discharged him had told him that the action had been taken because he had been reported as one who had passed out union cards. Though this testimony was disputed by the official and also by another of petitioner's witnesses, these differing stories only raised an issue of credibility, an issue for the Trial Examiner and the Board to resolve.
