[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 356284"] Employers can always fire someone under false pretenses or trumpted-up charges. Any law can be abused. But if the Union (or the fired workers) can prove that the stated reason for the terminations was just a subterfuge, the employees would get their jobs back, with back pay, and a public promise from the employer that he has been spanked and won't do it again. It would be very suspicious if suddenly three veteran employees were the only ones fired, and all three were union activists. NLRB investigators and judges are alert to these tactics. An employer has a legal Duty To Bargain, and to Bargain in Good Faith. There's a list of Mandatory Subjects For Bargaining, that requires the employer to actively engage in the give and take of collective bargaining. Failure to Bargain In Good Faith is an Unfair labor Practice and the employer would be charged by the Union and spanked by the NLRB. In my Local, the bargaining units at half the companies consists of less than 10 members. It only takes two employees to constitute a bargaining unit, and to trigger a variety of NLRB rights and protections. [/QUOTE]
