Hey friends,
So a shop i used to work in is going to unionize.
BUT.
I recently had drinks with my old boss (who is a great guy), who still works there. He told me that he knew that, before i left, me and a friend had been meeting with union reps to talk about unionizing. My boss told me that at the time, he was privy to management conversations about just closing the shop instead of allowing it to unionize. He told me that he couldn’t warn me about that at the time because that could have constituted tampering or threatening, despite him being very supportive of us unionizing.
But now my friend who still works there is going ahead with unionizing. If I tell him what my old boss told me, am I guilt of tampering or threatening?
I want the shop to unionize but I don’t want my friend and the other folks there to get screwed by management. Help!
