DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
CASE NO. 81-ERA-5

In the Matter of

ROBERT N. JAENISCH
    Complainant

    v.

CHICAGO BRIDGE AND IRON COMPANY
    Respondent

MEMORANDUM DECISION OF THE SECRETARY

    Robert N. Jaenisch filed a complaint alleging that he was discriminatorily discharged from his employment by the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company because of activities to carry out the purposes of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, in violation of Section 210 of that Act (92 Stat. 2951; 42 U.S.C. 5851).

    After a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Judge issued a recommended decision in which he found that Jaenisch had not shown any discrimination against him by his employer within the meaning of the Act and that no violation of Section 210 of the Act was committed. The Judge therefore recommended that the complaint be dismissed.

    On the basis of the entire record, it is my conclusion that the findings of fact and conclusions of law contained in the Administrative Law Judge's recommend decision, dated May 18, 1981, are supported by the evidence in the record, are in accordance with applicable law, and are proper, and I adopt such decision as my own. Accordingly, I conclude that the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company did not violate Section 210 of the Act as alleged, and the complain is hereby dismissed.

Dated at Washington, D.C.
this 25th day of June, 1981

       RAYMOND J. DONOVAN
