Here is an ironic unfair labor practice charge. The United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 is refusing to provide evidence needed to process a grievance on an unjust termination. But that’s not the ironic part. The person allegedly terminated unfairly is a (former) employee of Local 7! (represented by the “United Local Seven Staff Union”). Just another example of how unions don’t want the rules to apply until they are the employer. More ironic still, the next time the Employee Free Choice Act is paraded around charges like this will be one of the out of context statistics used to prove that employers fire union supporters.
