Operations in Fiscal Year 1969 17 The number of unfair labor practice charges found to have merit is important to the evaluation of regional workload. In fiscal 1958, 20.7 percent of cases were found to have merit. The highest level was 36.6 percent in fiscal 1966. In fiscal 1969 it was 32.3 percent. In 1969 the merit factor in charges against employers was 31.9 percent as against 34.2 percent in 1968. In charges against unions the merit factor was 33.0 percent in fiscal 1969; it was 35.6 percent in fiscal 1968. -, Since 1961 (see chart 5) more than 50 percent of merit charges have resulted in precomplaint settlements and adjustments, amounting to 57 percent in fiscal 1969. In 1969 there were 2,599 merit charges which caused issuance of complaints, and 3,451 precomplaint settlements or adjustments. The two totaled 6,050 or 32.3 percent of the unfair labor practice cases. ( See chart 5.) In fiscal 1969 NLRB regional offices issued 2,061 complaints, about 3 percent more than the 2,004 issued in 1968. (See chart 6.) Of complaints issued, 78.1 percent were against employers, 17.8 percent against unions, and 4.1 percent against both employers and unions. In 1969 NLRB regional offices processed cases from filing of charges to issuance of complaints in a median of 58 days, the same number of days as in 1968. The 58 days included 15 days in which parties had the opportunity to adjust charges and remedy violations without resort to formal NLRB processes. (See chart 6.) Trial examiners in 1969 conducted 951 initial hearings involving 1,368 cases, compared with 977 hearings involving 1,399 cases in 1968. ( See chart 8 and table 3A. Also, trial examiners conducted 49 additional hearings on supplemental matters. At the end of fiscal 1969, there were 7,089 unfair labor practice cases pending beore the Agency, 4 percent less than the 7,377 cases pending at the end of fiscal 1968. In fiscal 1969 NLRB awarded backpay to 6,225 workers, amounting to a total of $4.4 million. The backpay awarded was 37 percent more than in fiscal 1968. (See chart 9.) Employees in fiscal 1969 received $156,890 in reimbursement for fees, dues, and fines as a result of charges filed with the NLRB. During fiscal 1969, in 1,405 cases there were 3,748 employees offered reinstatement, and 2,726, or 73 percent, accepted rein-

Work stoppages ended in 270 of the cases closed. Collective bargaining was begun in 1,388 cases. (See table 4.) b. Representation Cases In fiscal 1969 the NLRB received 12,652 representation petitions, which included 11,338 collective-bargaining cases ; 769 decertification petitions ; 173 union-shop deauthorization petitions ; 134 petitions for amendment of certification ; and 238 petitions for unit clarification. The NLRB's total representation intake was about 2 percent, or 237 cases, below the 12,889 of fiscal 1968. There were 12,658 cases closed in fiscal 1969, about 2 percent below the 12,973 closed in fiscal 1968. Cases closed in 1969 included 11,350 collective-bargaining petitions, 766 petitions for elections to determine whether unions should be decertified, 170 petitions for employees to decide whether unions should retain authority to make union-shop agreements with employers, and 372 unit clarification and amendment of certification petitions. (See chart 14 and tables 1 and 1B.) There were 12,286 representation and union-deauthorization cases closed in fiscal 1969. About 68 percent, or 8,293 cases, were closed after elections. There were 2,968 withdrawals, 24 percent of the total number of cases, and 1,025 dismissals. Of the 8,293 cases closed, 6,579, or 79 percent (78 percent in 1968), were conducted under election agreements. NLRB regional directors ordered elections following hearings in 1,587 cases, or 19 percent of those closed by elections. There were 39 cases which resulted in expedited elections pursuant to the 8(b) (7) (C) provisions pertaining to picketing. Board elections in 88 cases, about 1 percent of election closures, followed appeals or transfers from regional offices. (See table 10.) c. Elections There were 8,083 elections in cases closed in fiscal 1969. Of those, 7,700 (95 percent) were collective-bargaining elections. (See chart 12.) During the year there also were 293 elections conducted to determine whether incumbent unions would continue to represent employees, and 90 elections to decide whether unions would continue to have authority to make union-shop agreements with employers.
