Menards continues to dock merit pay for workers attempting to unionize, lumping union talk in with 'questionable attitude' or 'gossip,' according to the NLRB. The NLRB let Menards off the hook for its 60 percent pay reduction for managers policy, which was quietly stricken from the handbook when media first reported on it last year.Īt the same time, the NLRB did find that Menards maintained illegal and over-broad rules against distributing union literature in the workplace, and that its at-will employment provision was unfair. The board responded last week, concluding that Menards' handbook way overstepped the line between firm-but-fair boss and vindictive, totalitarian employer. 'The basically don't have a way to complain. 'I've had two people I've been in contact with since then, who are confirming everything that my research provided about the atmosphere, the low wages, the threats that are made to managers that they'll lose profit sharing if they unionize,' Goldstein says. Goldstein accused Menards of violating national labor laws by retaliating against workers for their union activity. In December, Seth Goldstein of the Office and Professional Employees Union filed a complaint against this policy with the National Labor Relations Board.
