The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reaffirmed its position on firms’ collective bargaining agreement obligations to employees, while accepting arguments from sister circuits on similar issues, in upholding a National Labor Relations Board finding against health care company HealthBridge Management.
The panel of Circuit Judges Dennis Jacobs and Christopher Droney, with U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill for the District of Connecticut sitting by designation, declined to review the 2017 NLRB decision against HealthBridge, finding the board’s reasoning legally sound. The board sided with workers with the New England Health Care Employees Union who filed unfair labor practice charges in 2012.
