Case Summary:
Officials at the National Labor Relations Board petition the court for enforcement of an administrative order against Almet, Inc.

The NLRB asserted that company officials selectively used mandatory drug tests and other measures to intimidate pro-union employees.
Decision of lower jurisdiction:
An administrative law judge ruled that company officials deliberately and methodically interfered with the employees' effort to select a collective bargaining representative.
Outcome:
The NLRB wins. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ordered enforcement of the NLRB's order.
