The Ex-Cell-O case illustrates the complexities of the Board's remedial authority, emphasizing that it cannot punish respondents or impose irreparable harm. The dissent highlights employee deprivation of bargaining rights, contrasting the majority view of due process. The implications are significant, particularly regarding reimbursement of litigation expenses and the differing perceptions of due process. As the Board refrains from imposing prospective TCEs as seen in H.K. Porter, it raises essential questions about the rights of employees and the responsibilities of employers in unionized environments.
