7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: NLRB v. Jam Productions, Limited
Case No.: 22-1122
Officials: Rovner, Brennan, and Scudder, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Labor Bargaining Representative
Jam produces and hosts live events at Chicago-area venues. Over six years ago, employees of Jam Productions, Ltd., voted to certify the Theatrical Stage Employees Union, Local No. 2, as their bargaining representative. Jam filed an objection to the election results, which the National Labor Relations Board overruled. In a prior opinion, this court granted Jam’s petition for review and instructed the Board to hold an evidentiary hearing on the objection. Jam Prods., Ltd. v. NLRB, 893 F.3d 1037 (7th Cir. 2018). The Board did so, and then overruled Jam’s objection again. Now back before this court, the Board once more seeks enforcement of its order compelling Jam to bargain with Local 2. The Seventh Circuit sees no reversible error in the Board’s decision to overrule Jam’s objection and certify the election, so the court grants its application for enforcement.
