Pasco Tyson Plant Workers Force Secret Ballot Vote to Remove Unwanted Union from Workplace<\/a><\/h2>\n

Union bosses conspired to block employee vote after cutting backroom deal<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Wallula, WA (November 16, 2010)<\/b> \u2013 After receiving free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation, a group of Wallula-based Tyson Foods Inc. employees prevailed in a protracted legal battle to have a secret ballot vote to remove a local union from their workplace.<\/p>\n

\nLast year, Tyson (NYSE: TSN) recognized the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1439 union as the employees\u2019 monopoly bargaining agent after a controversial \u201ccard check\u201d union organizing campaign. Union officials then gave employees only 24 hours to vote on whether or not to ratify the union\u2019s contract with the company. They also required employees to sign union dues deduction authorizations in order to vote \u2013 discouraging many employees from voting. Only 61 of the facility\u2019s 1,177 employees actually voted.<\/p>\n

\nIn response, a group of independent-minded employees attempted to file a decertification petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) seeking a secret ballot election to determine the fate of their bargaining status. Tyson company officials reprimanded the employees and confiscated the employees\u2019 petition. Another group of employees then successfully filed a second petition with the NLRB to obtain a vote.<\/p>\n
