Description
Resource:
World Tea & Coffee, Inc. (World Tea & Coffee), owned and operated a retail store in the Westtown Shopping Plaza in Westtown, New York. Eleven other stores were located between the World Tea & Coffee store and the parking lot, which was owned by World Tea & Coffee, Inc.
The United Food and Commercial Workers Union, AFL-CIO (Union), attempted to organize World Tea & Coffee’s 230 employees, all who were non-union. When a full-page advertisement in the local newspaper failed to attract the employees to unionize, nonemployee union organizers entered World Tea & Coffee’s parking lot and began putting handbills on car windshields parked in the employee parking lot area.
World Tea & Coffee’s manager informed the union organizers that World Tea & Coffee prohibited their unionizing efforts of solicitation and placing handbills of any kind on the property and directed them to get off the property. After they left, World Tea & Coffee personnel removed the handbills. Union organizers repeated their handbill efforts in the parking lot on several following occasions. On each event, nonemployee union organizers were directed to get off the property, and the handbills were collected and removed.
The union filed a grievance with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). What should the result be in this case? Should the NLRB rule in favor of the union or in favor of the employer?

Union Organizing Case Study
Introduction
Employees have been working for several years. Within the last periods, many changes
have been taking place within the United States to protect the employees within their positions as
well as their daily duties. The changes have also been involving the employers or managers as well
as the companies’ protection to offer beneficial information for keeping them in compliance with
the changes as well as the way from any discrimination. The act of the National Labor Relations,
NLRA, is considered as the main federal law that governs the relationship between the labor unions
as well as the employers within the private sectors, (Holgate, 2015). The NLRA provides the rights
of the workers to organize as well as the bargain in groups with their managers or the employers.
The act gives out the two main methods through which the labor union certification can take place
having the bargaining representative for the organization’s workers, (Aloisi, A. (2015).
Issue
With regards to this case study, the AFL-CIO Union, The United Food & Commercial
Workers Union has tried to provide the 230 non-union workers of the World Tea and Coffee, Inc.
(The World Tea and Coffee) with some solicited documents for organizing a union. The matter in
question was done in the parking lot which is owned by the World Tea and Coffee company upon
the failed trial of unionization from the full paged within the local magazine. The company
managers immediately confronted the union organizers and informed them that the company
prohibited the solicitation as well as the handbill distribution of any type within its property and
asked the organizers to leave immediately.
