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?
