  • While that very well could be, I’d like to present another anecdote that continues to point to it being against the law. While I was interviewing for my current job at a fairly anti-union company, they were aware that I had already formed a union, the supposed “reason” I was fired from that job, and that I have an ongoing ULP for NLRA discrimination. The only thing they asked me about that situation was if I could maintain professional conduct (which has to do with why I was fired)

    Loons are my favorite bird. We both love fishing for one, and 2 they produce an ambience that can’t be beat. Imagine this:

    You’ve worked your ass off all year. You’re definitely burnt out and should probably be taking more time off than this one fishing trip to Bemidji every year. You stop at Northwoods Bait & Tackle to pick up the bait and replace the reel you broke last year. You continue driving towards the cabin, and finally get there about 40 minutes later. You unpack the vehicle, get all the food put away, call dibs on your bed, and generally get the cabin in order. 4pm. Not too late to hit the water, so obviously you do. You’re out there for a couple hours, enjoying nature and occasionally getting a bite on your line. 7pm. The sun is starting to set. There’s no way in hell DNR will catch you out here, so you crack open a beer. No one is talking, there’s no wind, and the only sound is water lapping the side of the boat. Then suddenly you hear a loon calling in the distance. This. This moment, this place, this is how we were meant to live life.






  • Not that I’m aware of. However, I’ve never been asked about union sympathies across all the interviews I’ve performed, even at aggressively anti-union companies like Aldi, which points to it violating the NLRA. The NLRA is intentionally broad, I’d have to actually comb through section 8 to see if it truly applies to prospects.

    I think the reason that the board chose to focus on employee vs prospective hire is because they’re trying to predict the most common scenarios of violations.
