EXTREME ULP REMEDIES

The NLRB recently issued a decision clobbering an employer with penalties for its repeated and substantial violations of the labor law. Take a look at this blog post about it for a quick overview of the decision. This is something a union might want to show FLRA or an arbitrator the next time it is litigating a very serious ULP matter. If you sit on the other side of the table, this is just one more indication that the potential remedy for persistent illegal activity might be something far worse than a simple 6 months slap-on-the-wrist posting.
