An unnamed individual filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board alleging that Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign violated labor laws by firing employees for union activities.
The charge lists seven instances of unfair labor practices, including three accusations that Sanders' campaign fired employees for joining or supporting a union.
An unnamed individual, who seems to be a former campaign staffer, filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board Monday alleging that the campaign committed labor law violations, including terminating employees for union activities.
The charge also alleges that the campaign did not tell the individual when hired that the campaign had a collective bargaining agreement and required workers to work additional time."The campaign leadership, from Sen. Sanders on down, respects the rights of all of its employees to speak collectively and bargain about their terms and conditions of employment, and it supports the mission of the NLRB to enforce worker and union rights," the campaign said in a statement.
"We are committed to cooperating with the NLRB and we are confident that they will find the campaign honors all of its employees' rights to both the letter and spirit of the law," the campaign said. "Sen. Sanders and the campaign believe all workers should have a strong voice on the job and the right to due process, including the right to petition to the NLRB.
