Cracked Down After Union Drive, NLRB Judge Says Law360 (May 13, 2021, 5:09 PM EDT) -- The operator of a Kentucky grain elevator violated federal labor law by requiring employees to clean the facility more often and dismissing one from a part-time job after workers started organizing with a union, a National Labor Relations Board administrative law judge has ruled. In a decision issued Wednesday, Administrative Law Judge Geoffrey Carter said anti-union sentiment motivated Gavilon Grain LLC to change its cleaning policy, move a smoking area and make other changes to long-standing job conditions. The judge noted that the actions came shortly after workers started organizing with Laborers International Union Local 1392.
