SELBYVILLE, Del. – After the dismissal of a Mountaire farm’s employee’s federal charge against the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 27 Union, Oscar Cruz Sosa is now challenging the National Labor Relations Board, and he’s charging them with illegal surveillance.
According to Mountaire officials, Cruz Sosa attempted to overthrow the union by gathering over 800 signatures. However, the case was dismissed because there was a contract bar which prevents any election for up to three years.
We’re told, the NLRB asked Mountaire for surveillance footage during the time Cruz Sosa was gathering votes to overthrow the union. Although Mountaire refused to hand over surveillance information, Cruz Sosa’s lawyer says, they believe this was an unfair attempt to intimidate Cruz Sosa and his coworkers and they say they want justice. “This sort of surveillance is on a union opponent has got to be illegal and has to be stopped and we’re going to continue to

In the deepening of the already cozy relationship between President Joe Biden and Big Labor, Fox News reports on waivers given to certain Biden administration appointees who had prior Union ties:
The Biden administration has come under scrutiny from Republicans on Capitol Hill following its decision to circumvent federal ethics rules and staff former union officials in senior posts.
Beginning as early as March, the White House waived certain rules for former labor union personnel slotted to fill Biden’s transition teams and government vacancies, who would have otherwise been prevented from communicating with their old unions.

Oscar Cruz Sosa submitted a petition seeking to stop United Food and Commercial Workers Local 27 from representing about 1,000 Selbyville employees early last year. Sosa, who has not been available for interviews, received free legal aid from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.

One of the first things that Joe Biden did upon taking office was to begin firing people at the National Labor Relations Board, an unprecedented move designed to tilt the board in favor of union advocates that support Democratic campaigns. That investment is already paying off for liberals who oppose right-to-work laws. At a food processing plant in Delaware, workers voted overwhelmingly to reject the leadership of the local chapter of the United Food and Commercial Workers union (UFCW). When the vote was challenged by the union, a regional NLRB director ruled in favor of the workers’ right to reject the union. But this week, the NLRB overturned that ruling and said that the workers must remain in the UFCW for at least three years and continue to have dues extracted from their pay. (Free Beacon)
