Big Time Manufacturing, Inc. was targeted for a union campaign. The union organizers have contacted Walter Dewberry, a bend employee, to assist them in the process of preparing to vote for union. Upon getting word that Walter was working with the union organizers, Big Time moved Walter to the night shift, working 12:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. with a skeleton crew of 12 employees. Big Time also instituted a new rule requiring employees to leave company property within 15 minutes of the end of their shift unless speaking with a member of management.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Big Time has committed an unfair labor practice by retaliating against an employee for engaging in protected union activity. The company moved Walter to a less desirable shift and implemented a new rule to interfere with employees' ability to communicate with union organizers. These actions are prohibited by the National Labor Relations Act.
