DC Circuit -- KLB Industries, Inc. v. NLRB

When a company pleads hardship as an excuse during negotiations, a disclosure obligation arises that is distinct from the total disclosure required in other situations.  Not an all-or-nothing requirement -- the company must disclose relevant financials together with the underlying data.

Withholding of this information makes a lockout unlawful, notwithstanding other good-faith bargaining.
