Duncan Freeman at The Chief Leader reports New York City Workers employed at the Trader Joe’s on the Lower East Side - who lost their bid to Unionize following a tie vote in April, are vying for a second chance to bargain collectively under a new standard handed down by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).  According to the new Union-friendly framework, if during the period between when Workers file a Unionization Petition and hold an election, the NLRB determines the Employees’ company engaged in Unfair Labor Practices (ULPs) sufficient to have affected the vote, the NLRB can order the company to bargain with its Workers, regardless of election results.  A lawyer representing the Trader Joe’s United Union told The Chief he had filed more than a dozen ULP Charges against the company with the NLRB since the Workers first petitioned to Unionize early this year.
