The law makes it illegal for employers to refuse to negotiate with a union or get rid of striking union workers. It is no surprise that every round of talks between the grocery stores and the UFCW has collapsed. The union can demand anything, however outrageous, and the stores are obliged by law to negotiate in good faith. Though an employer may hire replacement workers, the law requires him to give strikers first preference for any new vacancies.Trouble is, there's people out there who will believe this trash when they see it in print or on the monitor...This whole article belongs at the city landfill...
The company has already replaced the striking workers which it can do "legally" under the current National Labor Relations Act...And then the company "locked out" thousands of other union employees...That's the "illegal" part that was enacted BY THE COMPANY...
Every word is true. It is an unfair labor practice to refuse to negotiate with a union. Lockouts are legal.
