A taste of the audio

From “What counts as an Unfair Labour Practice?”:

ZaraYour boss says, “Union talk is fine, I guess,” and then suddenly cuts everyone’s overtime. Uh, yeah, that could be a very big deal.

TheoEspecially if the overtime disappears right after the people pushing for a union get warned to knock it off. That is not subtle management.

ZaraWelcome to Unfair Labour Practices Explained. I’m Zara, and today we’re answering the basic but crucial question, what actually counts as an unfair labour practice, or ULP?

TheoPlain English version, it’s when an employer or a union violates rights protected by labour law. In the U.S., that usually means rights under the National Labor Relations Act.

ZaraFor employers, the big buckets are interfering with organizing or bargaining, illegally controlling or helping a union, discriminating because of union activity, retaliating for charges or testimony, and refusing to bargain in good faith.

TheoSo, our overtime example. A manager tells pro-union staff, “Keep this up and you’ll lose your preferred shifts.” Then the preferred shifts vanish. That can look like interference and discrimination, not just a scheduling decision.

ZaraRight. Context matters. Employers can make normal business decisions, but they cannot use them to punish workers for protected union activity.

TheoAnd unions can commit ULPs too. They cannot restrain or coerce workers, pressure an employer to discriminate, refuse to bargain, or use illegal strikes or boycotts.

ZaraSo this is not “employer bad, union good.” It’s about protected rights, and whether someone crossed a legal line.

TheoNext episode, we’ll talk about what to do when you think one happened, because, you know, spotting the smoke is only step one.
