NLRB Recommends Dismissal of Claim Against Wal-Mart

Denver, The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has recommended the dismissal of a complaint that Wal-Mart Stores influenced a vote against forming a union in one of its Colorado stores.

The recommendation was made by a hearing officer, and it now goes to the NLRB’s national office for a final decision.

Local 7 of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union said workers at Wal-Mart’s Tire & Lube Express in Loveland were intimidated into rejecting unionization in a 17-1 vote last February.

No timetable has been given for the NLRB decision.
