Description
Cooper/T. Smith, Inc. ("Cooper" or "Employer"), and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Crescent Towing Co., Inc. ("Crescent Towing"), and Savannah Docking Pilots Association, Inc. ("Savannah Docking Pilots"), petition for review of an order by the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB" or "Board") finding that they engaged in unfair labor practices in violation of sections 8(a)(1) and (5) of the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA" or "Act"), 29 U.S.C. §§ 158(a)(1), (5). The Employer acknowledges it refused to bargain with the union certified by the NLRB to serve as the representative for the docking pilots employed by Savannah Docking Pilots. Cooper argues, however, that the NLRB should not have certified the union because the docking pilots are "supervisors" within the meaning of the NLRA. A "supervisor" is not an "employee" for the purposes of the NLRA, and therefore, is not eligible for membership in an NLRB-certified bargaining unit. Because we conclude that the NLRB properly determined that the docking pilots are not supervisors, we deny the Employer's petition and grant the Board's application for enforcement of its order.
