National Labor Relations Board v. Robin American Corporation

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding exhaustion “futile, if not frivolous” partly because Board’s order was “in accord with Fifth Circuit precedent” at the time.
• distinguishing the impact of a case’s “overruling of a previously controlling [doctrine]” from “pronounc[ing] a new doctrine”
• simple pronouncement of “new doctrine” would not constitute extraordinary circumstance but intervening Supreme Court decision that overruled previously controlling Fifth Circuit doctrine was extraordinary circumstance
• futility where Board’s order “was fully in accord with Fifth Circuit precedent”
• futility satisfied when a controlling doctrine was only recently overruled
