 Chelsea Industries, Inc
United Supermarkets Board held that the employee petition could not be relied on because it was tainted by the employer’s unfair labor practices.
United Supermarkets Board immediately went on to find that the underlying expression of nonsupport for the union was itself unreliable as an indicator of uncoerced employee sentiment because it arose when the respondent had not yet fully remedied its many unfair labor practices.
United Supermarkets was that an employer cannot lawfully withdraw recognition from a Union based on a petition filed during the certification year in a context of unremedied unfair labor practices.

The unit employees were deprived of their representational rights throughout the time that the Respondent was liti- gating its position before the Board-a fact that the dissent ignores and one that would not likely have enhanced the Union's standing with the employees ---- 1 United Supermarkets, 261 NLRB 1292 (1982).

 UNITED KINGDOM
In the United Kingdom, by contrast, organic farmers and growers have had to sell direct to the public (in farm shops and the now rapidly developing and popular farmers markets), or have developed links with a relatively small number of wholesalers and the small number of supermarket chains.
The rationale for the supermarkets using traditional suppliers, especially for imports, has been that such suppliers are familiar with the nature of the supermarket business and have the requisite standards of efficiency.
Hence, in some supermarket chains, organic produce trades at premia, which are now 10 to 40 percent relative to conventional produce (this mainly applies to core, temperate and Mediterranean fruits and vegetables, such as apples, carrots, potatoes, brassicas and oranges).

 OSCN Found Document:Hernandez v. United Supermarkets of Oklahoma, Inc.
Believing Defendant Supermarket to be responsible for creating the hazard that caused her fall, Plaintiff then brought this action for negligence against Defendant Supermarket on June 10, 1992, and then filed an amended petition to include the building landlords/owners on July 31, 1992.
After a hearing was held on the motions for summary judgment, Defendant Supermarket mailed to Plaintiff an offer to allow judgment to be taken against it for $7,500, inclusive of all interest, costs, and attorney fees, pursuant to 12 O.S. The offer of judgment was received by Plaintiff on June 14, 1993.
Therefore, it is immaterial in the case at bar that Defendant Supermarket may have attempted to withdraw its offer prior to Plaintiff's acceptance, since a defendant may not revoke its offer at any time within the statutory period granted for a plaintiff's response.

In brief, on April 8, 1993, the Union was certified as the exclusive collective-bargaining representative of the employees in an appropriate unit.
In short, the Court held that the “underlying purpose of this statute is industrial peace,” 348 U.S. at 103, and that the Board’s certification-year rule advances that goal.
[10] Therefore, the Respondent’s February 9, 1995 withdrawal of recognition was unlawful, and it further violated Section 8(a)(5) by unilaterally granting a wage increase to the unit employees on March 6, 1995.
