Interference--Coercive Remarks--Formation of Union.--Once an employer learned that its employees were attempting to form a union, it committed several unfair labor practices designed to destroy the employees’ support for the union. These coercive unlawful acts included maintaining an overly-broad no-distribution rule, interrogating employees regarding their union activities, threatening discharge, soliciting an employee to spy on union activity and engaging in surveillance of union activities. Section 8(a)(1).

On June 29, 1994, Administrative Law Judge Claude R. Wolfe issued the attached decision. The Respondent filed exceptions and a supporting brief. The General Counsel filed an answering brief.

The National Labor Relations Board has delegated its authority in this proceeding to a three-member panel.

The Respondent has excepted to some of the judge’s credibility findings. The Board’s established policy is not to overrule an administrative law judge’s credibility resolutions unless the clear preponderance of all the relevant evidence convinces us that they are incorrect. Standard Dry Wall Products, 91 NLRB 544 (1950), enfd. [19 LC ¶66,308] 188 F.2d 362 (3d Cir. 1951). We have carefully examined the record and find no basis for reversing the findings.
