Summary: written with AI from the case record.

What it's about
The Court refused to hear the case (denied review), so it did not decide that issue.
The NLRB's decision differed from its administrative law judge's view, a disagreement at the heart of Garten Trucking's challenge.
Question presented
When the NLRB reverses its own Administrative Law Judge and finds that a bargaining order is appropriate, does the reviewing Circuit Court show excessive deference to the NLRB inconsistent with Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, 603 U.S. 369, 387-88, 393 n.4 (2024), by failing to require findings supporting the use of the extraordinary power of a bargaining order remedy?
