Management interference during union organising campaigns is illegal.
The National Mediation Board (“NMB”), the government agency that supervises union elections, has found the following carrier actions to be unlawful:
- Threats to withhold benefits if employees unionise
- Conferral of benefits once the organising campaign begins
- Surveillance, interrogation or polling
- Ordering removal of union pins or insignia
- Discipline of union supporters
- Captive audience meetings
- Voluminous company communication
In addition to these specific acts, any other carrier activity that is designed to undermine support of unionisation will be considered by the NMB in determining whether carrier interference has occurred. If you feel your right to organise is being interfered with, please fill out an AFA Interference Incident report and call the AFA Organising Headquarters.
