In the run-up to the Employee Free Choice Act vote you heard a lot about how often employers terminate union supporters (hint: according to organized labor’s puppets it is an epidemic). I’ve argued before that these statistics are completely flawed. I won’t rehash that here, but I thought I’d post this recent example of my argument. In this particular case the alleged discriminator is none other than SEIU Local 2000 in St. Louis. Their (now former) employee claims that he was suspended and later terminated for his union activity. Of course in a couple of years when the EFCA is back up for a vote charges like this will be used as proof that “employers” are firing employees left and right for union activity. If the SEIU needs a union avoidance consultant I hope they’ll consider us.
