Novelis Antiunion Campaign a Warning for Employers

Abstract

In a recent decision, a National Labor Relations Board administrative law judge (ALJ) found that a bargaining order was appropriate to remedy unfair labor practices (ULPs) that Novelis Corporation committed in response to an organizing campaign. The case is a road map of unfair labor practices in response to union organizing. Understanding how this employer wound up with so many ULPs may help others avoid having defeat similarly snatched from the jaws of victory.
