Last week, an unfair labor practice charge was filed against Senator Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign on the grounds that the campaign was in violation of the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") by utilizing a confidentiality agreement with its staffers that allegedly unlawfully prevented them from speaking out on workplace issues within the campaign.
The charge was filed by an attorney in Denver, Colorado that is coincidentally enough a Senator Bernie Sanders support. (Senator Sanders is also running for the Democratic nomination for President against Senator Warren.)
Some might be wondering why an attorney in Denver that is not an employee (let alone a part) of the Warren campaign can file an unfair labor practice charge. In short, the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") accepts charges, even if the individual or organization that files it is not an employee of the organization/employer alleged to have violated the NLRA.
At this time, the NLRB will investigate the Warren campaign and take statements and affidavits from the parties and witnesses.
