The National Labor Relations Board general counsel was represented by Scott Preston, case number 07-CA-144521. The IUOE has served the Masonic Temple of Detroit, Michigan, since 1968. The 100 year-old building is the largest Masonic Temple in the world.

B.King, and even Rappers Snoop Dogg and Gucci Mane. MTA claimed that it had delayed negotiations since 2011, because the building had passed through numerous owners.

By 2011, the Association still had not responded to the union's requests. MTA charged that the union had not maintained its Respondents MTA and 450 Temple, Inc. claimed that the enterprise has changed hands numerous times, and that Union should negotiate CBA with another employer; then denied that they are a single-integrated business enterprise and a single employer; claims that MTA/450 Inc. would never be a union employer because Michigan was now a Right-To-Work state "We Keep Michigan Running!" -Operating Engineers Local 324 Monday, April 10, 2017 $1 Majestic Masonic Temple NLRB Sides with Union In Bargaining Row with Detroit Masonic Temple About the International Operating Engineers Union, Detroit Local 324 NLRB found that MTA and 450 Inc. charged that MTA/450 Inc. failed to Bargain in Good Faith, as Section 8(a)(1) of the NLRA has common officers, offices, directors management, and supervision; shared common premises and facilities; provided services for and made sales to each other; interchanged personnel with each other Duties of National Labor Relations Board The Union is over 100 years old and provides value to workers, business, and communities through the construction of highways, bridges, buildings, arenas, and the maintanence of the complex temperature systems that support these structures.
