Dear Mr Strock,
Another expert opinion, another expert speculation. The free choice act gives the employee the right to form a union without the harassment and intimidation of the employer. Instead of debating this with you I would say that the employer is not this innocent bystander being picked on by the union. I work in an A.R.C. (Association for retarded children). We have been trying to organize a union at my workplace for the past two years. I’ve had very good coworkers fired by the employer because they identified themselves as union supporters. Why is it that an hourly employee can get suspended for seven days and not told why? After the employee gets an attorney, they find out that they were suspended because they were seen pointing at a consumer after that consumer almost broke the staff person’s finger. On the other hand why is it that a Director of residential services is still working after she has a 147 ( allegation of abuse) for removing one on one oversight protection requested by a NYS appointed advocate. After suspicious injuries are identified, Double standard, Nah. Why is it that the employer can put out biased information on agency memo’s and the employee’s can‘t even talk about the memo. Could this be a Dictatorship? Nah. Mr. Strock, what I do for a living most people would not do or even consider it important, unless you have a disabled child or family member.

On Employee free choice?
