NLRB rules against Jimmy John's franchisee

[Sherman A1]

The National Labor Relations Board has ruled that a Twin Cities Jimmy John’s franchisee violated the union organizing rights of six employees by firing them for publicly protesting the company’s lack of sick leave.

The decision late last week by the NLRB upholds an April 2012 ruling by a federal administrative law judge, and also calls for the six workers allied with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) to be reinstated and given back pay.

2. It's about damn time.

I remember seeing the workers protesting outside the local JJ's in Uptown and the flyers saying sick people were making JJ's sandwiches (because they couldn't take of work for being sick). I hope this guts his business.

And the IWW is a militant, grass-roots union outside of the mainstream of the labor movement.
