Employer that Revealed Anonymous Intelligence About Work Stoppage Created Unlawful Impression of Surveillance: NLRB | Practical Law
In Greater Omaha Packing Co., Inc., the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) clarified what factors tend to show, and separately do not preclude, conclusions that an employer created an unlawful impression of surveillance under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The NLRB held that an employer's statements to employees accusing them of leading or helping to organize a work stoppage, and the employer's refusal to identify the source of its knowledge, created the unlawful impression of surveillance in violation of the NLRA.
