1️⃣: They violate an employee’s right under Section 7 of the Act to freely decide whether, when, and how to participate in a debate concerning union representation, or refrain from doing so.
Glad the NLRB ended this terrible practice but we need stronger labor laws to stop bad faith employers.
Since transparency is now required for a meeting, type up the itinerary... with full text of the speaker's remarks.
Thus, meeting is not required and I can spend the time doing what I was hired to do.
unions took care of our HC before the ACA, unions gave my mom support when my father passed, and my brother was cured of cancer and the unions paid for it.
unions kept us safe on the job, too.
