Dec. 6, 2010) Copy Citation UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD LAKELAND HEALTH CARE ASSOCIATES, LLC., d/b/a WEDGEWOOD HEALTHCARE CENTER. Employer and Case 12-RC-9426 UNITED FOOD AND COMMERCIAL WORKERS UNION, LOCAL 1625 Petitioner ORDER Employer’s Request for Review of the Regional Director’s Decision and Direction of Election is denied as it raises no substantial issues warranting review. Employer’s request to stay the election is also denied as moot. WILMA B. LIEBMAN, CHAIRMAN CRAIG BECKER, MEMBER Member Hayes, dissenting: I would grant review. The Employer contends that its licensed practical nurses in the petitioned-for unit possess supervisory authority with reference to discipline, assignment, and direction. The Employer further contends that the nurses exercise independent judgment when they evaluate nursing assistants, and that if the nurses at issue were found not to be supervisors, there would be an inordinately low ratio of supervisors to employees. In my view, these contentions raise factual and legal issues that warrant fuller examination. BRIAN E. HAYES, MEMBER Dated, Washington, D.C., December 6, 2010.
