Little different, John.
"employee Kevin “Dale” Grosso, an open and active supporter of the Union, anonymously scribbled vulgar, offensive, and, in isolation, arguably threatening statements on several union newsletters left in an employee breakroom in an attempt to encourage his fellow employees to support the Union in an upcoming decertification election."
"In the now-vacated Decision and Order, the Board concluded that Grosso’s handwritten statements were not so egregious as to cost him the protection of the National Labor Relations Act. The Board further found that Grosso’s dishonesty during Fresenius’ lawful investigation was protected and thus could not serve as a lawful basis for discipline."
But the final conclusion was based on a key fact:
"As the judge stated, Fresenius’ discharge of Grosso for dishonesty was consistent with discipline it had imposed for similar violations in the past."
You are right though John, nothing is cut and dry. In the end, the details of the case will determine the outcome.
outta drivers when you wanted their support but you wouldn't even walk into the man's office and introduce yourself??
