Case: United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 204 v. NLRB
Case Question:
1. What were the legal issues in these two cases? What did the court decide?
2. Why were the employer's action discussed in the first case deemed unfair labor practices?
3. Why did the employer's statements about prior plant closing not violate the NLRA? Couldn't they reasonably be viewed as implied threats? Are you persuaded that that the employer had a legitimate business reason for its videotaping? What effect does videotaping likely have on employees?
4. How should employers respond to union organizing?
