Director of Labor Policy Vincent Vernuccio gives his predictions on labor grievance strategy in the U.S. oil workers’ strike.
“They’re going to try to get as many unfair labor practice charges in front of NLRB as they can to see what sticks.... They’ll throw the kitchen sink at it knowing the vast majority of charges can’t be substantiated or will be thrown out.”
The article on the strike by United Steelworks against several U.S. oil refineries first appeared in Bloomberg Business and was republished by Washington Post, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and Hydrocarbon Processing.
