Ennui When Watching the Ocean

The onion man at the farmer’s market rants to me about preventative medicine. I’m his captive audience because I need an onion for the burger I’ll make for dinner tonight. I take the onion and tell the onion man I’ll pay him next week. The onion, now my captive audience, wedged in a tote bag I…

#NLRB finally rules that #employer enforced mandatory #CaptiveAudience meetings for staff are no longer allowed in workplace.

The decision, which drew a dissent from the sole Republican on the board, upends 76 years of precedent. Although the fed gov't agency ruling emboldens worker rights, it likely could be undone by the incoming #DJT administration.

Federal Labor Board Rules Against Employer-Required Anti-Union “Captive Audience” Meetings

Mercedes Enlists a Pastor in Its Union-Busting Campaign

As Mercedes workers began their 12-hour shifts at 6 a.m. today, their phones buzzed with a company text message: “Here in Alabama, community is important, and family is everything. We believe it’s important to keep work separate. But there’s no denying, a union would have an impact beyond the walls of our plant.” Voting on whether to join the United Auto Workers begins today for 5,200 Mercedes workers at the company’s factory complex and electric battery plant outside Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The vote runs through May 17 with a vote count after the polls close at 9:45 a.m. Central.

With a Velvet Glove, Mercedes Tries to Punch Down Alabama Union Momentum

Workers at Mercedes-Benz in Alabama were forced to attend 20-minute anti-union meetings with the company’s top management today. Recordings obtained by Labor Notes show top management dangled carrots and put on a contrite-boss act, promising to do better. Workers filed with the National Labor Relations Board on April 5 for the first-ever election to unionize the 5,200 people who work at the plant. Mercedes claims to be neutral in the election, but it’s also listed as a supporter of the Business Council of Alabama’s anti-union website, Alabama Strong.
