BY PAUL TUCKER

REGION, May 19th- The International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) Union Local 773, Hamilton Street in Allentown, recently filed several labor complaints with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) region Four office in Philadelphia alleging several employers in the Lehigh Valley violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRAct). Also, the IBT filed a petition with the NLRB requesting the agency conduct an election to determine if employees of one of the employers want to be represented by Local 773.

The newspaper discovered the Unfair Labor Practices (ULP’s) and the Representation Petition while reviewing the information at the NLRB Region Four office. The Union News is the only member of the local media that reviews and publishes the information.

On May 11th, 2012 IBT Union Local 773 filed a ULP against the Holiday Inn Express, West Main Street in Stroudsburg. The Holiday Inn operates a hotel at the site.

The complaint was filed on behalf of the IBT by Attoreny Ryan Sweeney of Philadelphia. According to the ULP Gale Sweda is the contact person for the employer. Sweda is identified as the hotel’s General Manager on the complaint.
