Westwood Horizons Hotel, 270 NLRB 802, 803 (1984).

The question here is whether the comments made by Davis and Keating and disseminated to other voting employees in a very close election crossed the line, becoming threats that made a free election impossible. We conclude that the Board abused its discretion here by finding that the threats did not create a “general atmosphere of fear and reprisal” according to the Board’s own precedent.

C: holding the boards cursory departure from precedent rendered its decision arbitrary and capricious
D: recognizing that arbitrary and capricious decision making by the factfinder implicates an error of law
