Did the Supreme Court agree with the Court of Appeals that Section 10(c) of the Act forbids placing the burden on the employer to prove that, absent the improper motivation, the employer would have acted in the same manner for wholly legitimate reasons?


No. The Supreme Court stated that the Court of Appeals was in error in holding that Section 10(c) forbids the placing of the burden on the employer to prove that, absent the improper motivation, the employer would have acted in the same manner for proper reasons. The Supreme Court pointed out that the Board could have construed the Act as stated by the Court of Appeals. However, the Board's interpretation was also reasonable and permissible under the Act and was entitled to deference.
