Ever get a job and be threatened before your first day???
Well, that’s what’s happening with the new probationary employees.
After your Negotiating Committee informed HBC of their Unfair Labor Practice at the Bargaining Table yesterday morning, HBC quickly “revised” their unlawful threat:
Q. What happens to PROBATIONARY employees if there is a strike on August 4, 2008?
A. (REVISED) Employees who do not complete their probationary period will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination, in accordance with the attendance guidelines for probationary employees.
Same threat, different words. THIS is the welcome for new employees to the Hawker Beechcraft family. Isn’t this wonderful? Doesn’t this show how much HBC Management cares for those who work for them?
Here’s the bottom line: The National Relations Board has already ruled that terminating probationary employees for honoring a picket line is unlawful. The unlawful threats remain. HBC CONTINUES the Unfair Labor Practice.
