In this case, we have another meeting between labor and management gone awry. In the heated context of this labor dispute, the union steward did not lose protection of the NLRA by telling his boss, among other things, "pull your head out of your ass." But while labor disputes carry with them an expectation of harsh exchanges, the boss here violates the NLRA when he ends the meeting by banging on the desk and saying, "You want to see intimidation? I'll show you intimidation!" A majority of the Board found this statement to be a threat of unspecified reprisal in violation of 8(a)(1). Full decision here.
