A Brooklyn, N. Y., hospital has lost its bid to use the Landrum-Griffin Act to halt organizational picketing by a local of the Building Service Employees and to force an "expedited" representation election.

In a unanimous decision, the National Labor Relations Board rejected a petition by the Flatbush General Hospital and declined to assert jurisdiction over private, profit-making hospitals.

Such hospitals, the NLRB declared, are essentially local in nature. The board pointed out that states are required to assume jurisdiction in areas declined by the NLRB.
