Employer Must Pay Union's and NLRB's Litigation Fees Because of Bad-faith Conduct in Litigation: NLRB | Practical Law
In Camelot Terrace, the NLRB required two nursing homes to pay costs and expenses incurred by the their employees' labor union during negotiation and litigation. The NLRB found that both employers, which are owned by the same person, repeatedly acted in bad faith, resulting in many unfair labor practices. The fee-shifting penalty was intended to reimburse the union for the financial losses it incurred during negotiation and litigation.
