Tip Tuesday: Think Before You Act - 7 Actions That Can Create an Unfair Labor Practice

- Responding emotionally during workplace conflicts
- Making comments about union activity or support
- Changing policies without evaluating bargaining obligations
- Treating union supporters differently
- Asking employees about union activity
- Bypassing the union when communicating workplace changes
- Failing to document decisions consistently
