No-solicitation Policy, Employee Discharge and Statements about Potential Job Losses Violate NLRA: NLRB | Practical Law
On November 4, 2011, in UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc., the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) held that an employer violated Sections 8(a)(1) and 8(a)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) by adopting a rule prohibiting union solicitation in working areas during working time, discharging an employee for an outburst following a anti-union company presentation and telling employees that it might lose customers that require a nonunion workforce, and in turn, need to eliminate jobs.
