During a pending certification election at Zenith Manufacturing, Inc. (about 240 employees), management publicly states that any employee who joins the workers’ union will be placed on a six-month probation and will be passed over for promotions; a supervisor tells a group of workers that union organizers will be reassigned to less favorable shifts; management restricts access to union meetings by scheduling them during work hours and denying attendance; and HR is instructed to coordinate all labor-relations matters through a specially designated manager, excluding any other labor organizations from disseminating information on company premises. (a) Define unfair labor practice and identify the governing rule. (b) Distinguish unfair labor practices from legitimate management prerogatives. (c) Apply the rule to these facts and determine whether the employer committed unfair labor practice, stating the appropriate remedy if any.
