An Agency of the United States Government
After a hearing at which all sides had an opportunity to present evidence and state their positions, the National Labor Relations Board found that we have violated the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, and has ordered us to post this notice.
The Act give employees the following rights:
To engage in self-organization.
To form, join, or assist any union.
To bargain collectively through representatives of their own choice.
To engage in activities together for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.
To refrain from any or all such activities, except to the extent that the employees may be covered by a lawful collective-bargaining agreement which requires them to join a union in order to keep their jobs.
WE WILL NOT tell you that picketing employees no longer have jobs with us.
WE WILL NOT threaten you that because of your attempts to organize a union, we will henceforth run our facility "like a big company."
WE WILL NOT initiate employee work rules or disciplinary systems, or increase production standards, in retaliation for employee organizational efforts on behalf of Chicago and Central States Joint Board, Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, AFL-CIO, or any other union.
WE WILL NOT reprimand, suspend, discharge, or discipline you, initiate work rules or disciplinary systems, increase your production standards, or otherwise discriminate with regard to your hire or tenure of employment or any term or condition of employment, to discourage membership in the Amalgamated or any other union.
WE WILL NOT refuse to bargain collectively concerning rates of pay, wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment with the Amalgamated as the exclusive bargaining representative of our employees in the following appropriate unit:

7. The production standard which requires, on pain of possible discharge, an average of 100 large frames a day over a 3-day period.
8. The progressive disciplinary systems for returning late from lunch, or for being late or absent without a written excuse from the company office or a doctor.
WE WILL offer Peter Bible, and any other employee separated pursuant to the unlawfully instituted rules, disciplinary systems, or production standards, reinstatement to the job from which the employee in question was suspended or otherwise separated, or, if such a job no longer exists, a substantially equivalent job, without prejudice to his seniority or any other rights and privileges previously enjoyed.
WE WILL make Peter Bible, Donald Jones, Darnell Spencer, Jerome Comage, and any other employee who has been adversely affected by reason of the unlawfully instituted rules, disciplinary systems, or production standard, whole, with interest, for any loss of pay they may have suffered by reason of such rules, disciplinary systems, or production standard.
