Golden Bridge Restaurant, LLC and 318 Restaurant Workers Union. Cases 2–CA–39602 and 2–CA– 39709 March 31, 2011 DECISION AND ORDER BY CHAIRMAN LIEBMAN AND MEMBERS BECKER AND HAYES The Acting General Counsel seeks a default judgment in this case on the ground that the Respondent has with- drawn its answer to the consolidated complaint and amendment to the consolidated complaint. Upon a charge and amended charges filed by 318 Restaurant Workers Union (the Union) in Case 2–CA–39602, and a charge filed by the Union in Case 2–CA–39709, the Act- ing General Counsel issued an order consolidating cases and consolidated complaint on July 29, 2010, and an amendment to the consolidated complaint on September 1, 2010, against Golden Bridge Restaurant, LLC (the Respondent) alleging that it has violated Section 8(a)(4), (3), and (1) of the Act. The Respondent filed an answer to the consolidated complaint and amendment to con- solidated complaint. However, on January 19, 2011, the Respondent withdrew its answer. On January 26, 2011, the Acting General Counsel filed a Motion for Default Judgment and memorandum in support with the Board. On February 4, 2011, the Board issued an order transferring the proceeding to the Board and a Notice to Show Cause why the motion should not be granted. The Respondent filed no response. The alle- gations in the motion are therefore undisputed. The National Labor Relations Board has delegated its authority in this proceeding to a three-member panel. Ruling on Motion for Default Judgment Section 102.20 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations provides that the allegations in a complaint shall be deemed admitted if an answer is not filed within 14 days from service of the complaint, unless good cause is shown. In addition, the consolidated complaint affirma- tively stated that unless an answer was received by Au- gust 12, 2010, the Board may find, pursuant to a motion for default judgment, that the allegations in the consoli- dated complaint are true. Further, the amendment to the consolidated complaint affirmatively stated that unless an answer was received within 14 days of service of the amendment to the consolidated complaint all allegations in the amendment to the consolidated complaint shall be deemed to be admitted as true by the Board. The Re- spondent failed to file an answer within the prescribed time period. The Region, by letter dated September 24, 2010, noti- fied the Respondent that it had not filed an answer to the consolidated complaint or the amendment to the consoli- dated complaint, and that unless an answer was received by October 1, 2010, a motion for default judgment may be filed. On November 17, 2010, the Acting Regional Director issued an order extending the time to file an answer to November 24, 2010. Although the Respondent filed an answer on November 23, 2010, it subsequently withdrew its answer during a settlement conference on January 19, 2011.1 Such a withdrawal of an answer has the same effect as a failure to file an answer, i.e., the allegations in the consolidated complaint and amendment to consoli- dated complaint must be considered to be true.2 Accord- ingly, we grant the Acting General Counsel’s Motion for Default Judgment. On the entire record, the Board makes the following FINDINGS OF FACT I. JURISDICTION At all material times, the Respondent, a New York corporation with an office and/or place of business lo- cated at 50-52 Bowery Street, New York, New York, has been engaged in the operation of a public restaurant sell- ing food and beverages. Annually, in the course and conduct of its business operations, the Respondent de- rives gross revenues in excess of $500,000 and purchases and receives products, goods, and materials valued in excess of $5000 directly from points located outside the State of New York. We find that the Respondent is an employer engaged in commerce within the meaning of Section 2(2), (6), and (7) of the Act and that the Union is a labor organization within the meaning of Section 2(5) of the Act. II. ALLEGED UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES At all material times, the following individuals held the positions set forth opposite their respective names and have been supervisors of the Respondent within the 1 The Respondent signed a statement withdrawing its answer and in- dicating that it had no objection to the Acting General Counsel filing a motion for default judgment. The Respondent further agreed that the allegations of the consolidated complaint and amendment be deemed admitted and that the Board make findings of fact and conclusions of law consistent with those allegations adverse to the Respondent on all issues raised by the pleadings. The Respondent also agreed that the Board may issue an order providing a full remedy for the violations found. 2 See Maislin Transport, 274 NLRB 529 (1985). DECISIONS OF THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD2 meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act and agents of the Respondent within the meaning of Section 2(13) of the Act: Phillip Wu—Owner Amy Zheng—Co-owner/Supervisor Huan Rong—Supervisor Deng Seng Gang—Supervisor The Respondent has engaged in the following conduct. 1. On about July 8, 2009,3 the Respondent, by Rong, in the locker room at the Respondent’s facility, threatened to discharge an employee and threatened to harm an em- ployee’s family because she supported and engaged in activities on behalf of the Union. 2. On about July 8, 2009, the Respondent discharged Fung Yee Chen and has failed and refused to reinstate, or offer to reinstate, Fung Yee Chen because he engaged in activities on behalf of the Union and other protected con- certed activities, and to discourage employees from en- gaging in these activities. 3. Between May 25 and 31, 2009, the Respondent un- derpaid dim sum sellers because they supported the Un- ion and engaged in other protected activities, and to dis- courage employees from engaging in these activities. 4. Since about June 2009, the Respondent informed dim sum sellers that they would have to fill out time and attendance forms not required of other employees be- cause they supported the Union and engaged in other concerted activities, and to discourage employees from engaging in these activities. 5. Since prior to August 18, 2009, the Respondent has maintained the following rule of conduct: In order to ensure a safe, productive and harmonious work place [t]he Restaurant has certain rules of behav- ior which must be obeyed. In many cases, common sense and good judgment will tell what behavior is ap- propriate. While this list is not inclusive, it does pro- vide some examples of conduct that is unacceptable and will lead to disciplinary actions, up to and includ- ing termination of employment: . . . . 3 The complaint states that the threats and Fung Yee Chen’s dis- charge occurred about July 8, 2010, although it also states that the Respondent failed to reinstate Fung Yee Chen about July 8, 2009. As the charge and amended charges, as well as the motion for default judgment, indicate that the threats and discharge occurred in 2009, the reference in the complaint to July 2010 appears to be an inadvertent error. Accordingly, the date has been corrected to reflect the July 2009 date alleged in the charge. Publicly disparaging the Restaurant or fellow employ- ees. 6. On about August 23, 2009, employees distributed handbills outside the Respondent’s facility, which pro- tested, among other things, the discharge of Fung Yee Chen and expressed support for the Union. On about August 23, 2009, the Respondent, by Zheng, outside the Respondent’s facility threatened employees with dis- charge for violating the rule described above and physi- cally attacked and assaulted employees and others en- gaged in the activity described above. 7. On about August 24, 2009, the Respondent, by let- ter, threatened employees with unspecified reprisals for violating the rule described above, and threatened em- ployees with legal action for distributing handbills, as described above. 8. From about October 6until October 20, 2009, the Respondent laid off the following dim sum sellers: Chen Li Chan, Jie Fang Chen, Chao Qun Zhao, Bei Lian Chen, Li Mei Chen, Lam Xiao Feng, So Mei Lee, Kam Yin Leong, Lai Heng Ng, and Mei Fang Qiu. The Respon- dent engaged in this conduct because these dim sum sell- ers supported the Union and engaged in other concerted activities, and to discourage employees from engaging in these activities. 9. On about October 8, 2009, the Respondent issued written warnings to Tong Seng Chen, Kai On Chan, and Chiu Tong Ng. The Respondent engaged in this conduct because these employees engaged in union and protected concerted activities, and to discourage employees from engaging in these activities. 10. On about November 28, 2009, the Respondent sus- pended Tong Seng Chan and Chiu Tong Ng. The Re- spondent engaged in this conduct because these employ- ees supported the Union and engaged in other concerted protected activities, and to discourage employees from engaging in these activities. 11. On about November 17, 20, 21, and 29, 2009, the Respondent withheld waiters’ tips. The Respondent en- gaged in this conduct because the waiters supported the Union and engaged in other concerted protected activi- ties, and to discourage employees from engaging in these activities. 12. On about October 20, 2009, the Respondent cut Mei Fang Qiu’s wages, and in about February 2010, the Respondent suspended and demoted Mei Fang Qiu be- cause Mei Fang Qiu engaged in activities on behalf of the Union and other protected concerted activities, and to discourage employees from engaging in these activities. 13. The Respondent laid off the following employees, on the dates set forth opposite their respective names: GOLDEN BRIDGE RESTAURANT, LLC 3 (i) Kow Chau Lau December 21, 2009 (ii) Chiu Tong Ng December 22, 2009 (iii) Wing Gay Cheung December 22, 2009 (iv) Kai On Chan January 4, 2010 (v) Kok Chuen Yuen January 5, 2010 (vi) Jian Wei Feng January 5, 2010 The Respondent engaged in this conduct because these em- ployees supported the Union and engaged in other concerted activities, and to discourage employees from engaging in these activities.
