National Labor Relations Board v. Brandman Iron Company/Opinion of the Court

The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The respondent consented to the entry by the National Labor Relations Board of an order directing it to cease-and-desist from certain practices as regards membership of its employees in a named labor organization 'or any other labor organization of its employees.' The respondent further waived all defenses to the entry by the Court of Appeals of a decree enforcing said order. The Court of Appeals, sua sponte, struck the words 'or any other labor organization of its employees' wherever they appeared in the Board's order. 6 Cir., 281 F.2d 797. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed and the case is remanded with directions that a judgment be entered which affirms and enforces the Board order. Labor Board v. Ochoa Fertilizer Corp., 368 U.S. 318, 82 S.Ct. 344, 7 L.Ed.2d 312.

Petition granted.

Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, dissents.
