Surviving the Workday

A worker pursued federal charges against the Hilton Garden Inn in Ithaca when she was fired for talking to other employees about their rights, conditions at work, and unionization. The National Labor Relations Board dismissed her charge because coworkers weren’t willing to testify in her favor about the conditions at the Hilton, but they also uncovered evidence that employees were not informed of (aware of?) their rights to talk about workplace conditions. So apparently all the investigating in the world will not make up for the fact that you need corroborating witnesses in front of the National Labor Relations Board.
