Heading: Interfering with lawful Union activities

Text: An employer lacks a legitimate interest in interfering with union activities which occur away from the employer's property. Threatening to call the police, in the presence of employees, to interfere with lawful union activity violates the Act. NLRB v. Schlegel Oklahoma, Inc., 644 F.2d 842, 843 (10th Cir. 1981). In the present case, Company security officers threatened to have the union organizers arrested in front of Mariano and Bartosh, who as unfair labor practice dischargees, continued to retain employee status under the Act, see 29 U.S.C. 152(3). Accordingly, the Board correctly concluded that the threat violated Section 8(a)(1) of the Act.
