Mealey's (July 9, 2019, 2:21 PM EDT) -- CINCINNATI — An energy supplier violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when it cherry picked which collective bargaining agreement (CBA) changes from its last offer before reaching an impasse with the union representing its employees to put into effect, but did not commit a violation when it brought in a subcontractor to perform a shutdown of one of its units, a Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel ruled July 2, partially affirming and partially reversing an order by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) (FirstEnergy Generation, LLC v. National Labor Relations Board, Nos. 18-1654/1782, 6th Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 19762)....
