Other Details:

Bill $$ Maintenance Employee

Long time maintenance employee of hotel.

Believes that the employees of the hotel have been mistreated and they would be better served with a Union.

Bill has historically been a difficult employee to manage. His strong will and history of winning ULP$$s has intimidated many managers over the years.

Bill has filed $9$ different ULP$$s and the local board has sided with him $6$ times.

Bill has filed his $10$th ULP specifically against his newer manager, Sally for interfering with their right to organize.

Bill has become more aggressive and he has organized a wild cat strike. On New Year$$s Eve, Bill along with $12$ other hotel workers went on strike. They picketed the front of the hotel and even received some local news time.

The workers took off work for the next $3$ days and returned for their next shifts. There was some indication that the group took a trip. Bill was warned that they could be terminated for walking off the job but Bill laughed it off and communicated to the workers that it is illegal for anything to happen. He proudly pointed to the management and bragged that there was nothing they could do$.$We run things around here....$$

On Valentine$$s Day, Bill organized another strike. $11$ of the $12$ individuals went on strike.

When the employees went back to work, $3$ days later, the General Manager $$ Sally, of the hotel informed them that they no longer work there.

Sally $-$ General Manager

Much less tenured than Bill $($less than a year$).$

Sally has been with the company for several years but this is her first GM job. She has a history of being good with customers and employees. In fact, she was sent to this location because of these skills.

Sally warned Bill and the other $12$ that walked out in January that they could not walk off the job and that should it happen again they would be disciplined.

Bill plus $11$ of the individuals walked off the job and she separated them upon their return.

The next day, Bill showed up with $4$ terminated workers to Sally$$s personal residence. The group was telling neighbors what a horrible person Sally is and that she terminated them $$ they have families too....

When Sally came out front to confront Bill $$ Bill aggressively got very close to Sally and made comments that only the $2$ of them could hear. Sally claims that Bill said $$You don$$t know who you are F$$ with.....what kind of a mother would put her child in danger.....$$
