NLRB to Seek Highest Court Opinion on Bargaining Ruling , BERKELEY, Calif. The Na tional Labor Relations ' Board (NLRB) has decided to ask the Supreme Court to rule that an employer must open his books to a labor union when claiming ne can't afford; a wage demand. Low er courts hive split on the ques tion. ! . ' - The decision to seek a ruling by the highest court wsi disclos ed Wednesday by Theophil C. Kammholz, general counsel for the NLRB, in a speech prepared for the 34th Pacific Coast Manage ment Conference. j "The question Is," Kammholz said, "whether good faith bar gaining requires an employer, on request by the union, to furnish the latter With the company's fii nancial or iother data upon the basis of which 1 the employer j claims that he cannot afford a wage increase demand." -.- jj Ruling Made j! The NLRB has ruled that em-, ployers must furnish such data I when refusing wage demands i Kammholz Mid the NLRB ruling aoes not require me doss io prove he is right: in his position, only to supply the union with the data on which the employer's de cision was ibascd. f The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in! New York approved this NLRB position, but the Fourth Circuit Court at Rich mond reversed a case in which the NLRB so ruled. Kammholz said the board has decided to appeal the Fourth Court's ruling, and thus carry the question to! the highest court. ; Root of View Noting a series of NLRB de cisions requiring employers in most cases to furnish unions with payroll, job classification, seni ority and time study date, Kamnv Kammholz said the Fourth Cir cuit Court, in rejecting the NLRB view that employers should -furnish unions with economic in formation, felt that it was up to management to decide whether a pay increase could be afforded and, also, that disclosure of con fidential data such as .manufac turing costs could hurt an em ployer competitively.
