Since we won our election in March, TCGplayer and eBay management have sought to obstruct our union. After the regional director of the National Labor Relations board rejected an appeal by TGCplayer to throw out our election, the company appealed again to the full NLRB in Washington, DC. This came on the heels of firing union organizer Iris St. Lucy on the first business day after the election.
TCGplayer and eBay have continued their union busting in the workplace by
denying workers their Weingarten Rights to have a union representative present in disciplinary meetings,
unilaterally changing working conditions despite a legal requirement to keep terms and conditions status quo until bargaining,
disciplining workers for minor infractions that were not previously enforced, and
refusing to respond to our first information request to help us prepare for bargaining.
Management is claiming that because they have appealed our election victory, they do not need to engage with us as a certified union. This appeal is an attempt to delay and obstruct the bargaining process and deny TCGplayer workers their legal right to a voice on the job. By refusing to work together with us as a union, TCGplayer and eBay are setting a hostile tone for bargaining. We deserve better from our employer.
Thank you for your continued support. Please feel free to share this action with anyone who would like to support!
