Illegally Fired Workers Must Get Jobs, Pay Back
Nearly 150 workers at a Michigan auto parts manufacturer could be getting their jobs back—along with back pay—after a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) administrative law judge (ALJ) ruled they were illegally fired.
In early 2008, the workers, members of UAW Local 822, were in negotiations for a new contract with Douglas Autotech Corp. in Bronson. In May, according to a press release from the NLRB, the union called a brief strike
but quickly realized that the strike was not lawful because certain timely notice was not given….The union made an unconditional offer to return to work on the third day of the strike.
