Question: The production workers at Molded Products Co., represented by the Allied Workers Union, went on strike in June 2002, after their collective agreement expired. The strike lasted two months, and during the strike, almost half of the 150 workers crossed the picket line and returned to work. When the strike ended, the company recalled sixty of the strikers and operated with a work force of 135. Some of the workers then circulated a petition stating that they no longer wished to be represented by the union, and seventy of the workers signed it. The company then notified the union that it was withdrawing recognition and refused to bargain with the union over renewing the collective agreement. The union filed a complaint with the NLRB, arguing that the company's withdrawal of recognition violated Sections 8(a)(1) and (5). How should the NLRB rule on the complaint? Why? Explain your answer. See Quazite Div. of Morrison Molded Fiberglass Co. v. NLRB [87 F.3d 493 (D.C. Cir. 1996)].
