A series of emails by Starbucks Corp. managers sheds light on the company's efforts to thwart union organizing among its baristas.
The emails, which are part of a labor-dispute proceeding in New York and were reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, open a rare window onto the company's labor relations practices. Labor experts not involved with the case said the activity is not illegal. But the emails could prove embarrassing because they show managers using various methods to identify pro-union employees.
The Industrial Workers of the World, or IWW, has been trying to organize workers at Starbucks since 2004 and has been able to organize only several dozen at a handful of stores in New York and a few other cities.

In The Guard Publishing Company, d/b/a The Register-Guard, 351 NLRB No. 70 (December 16, 2007), the National Labor Relations Board, in a 3-2 decision, held that an employer did not violate Section 8(a)(1) by maintaining a policy that prohibited employees from using the employer’s e-mail system for any “non-job-related solicitations.”
The Board majority also announced and applied a new standard for determining whether an employer has violated Section 8(a)(1) by discriminatorily enforcing its policies. In deciding the case, the Board considered the exceptions and briefs of the parties, amicus submissions from various organizations, and presentations by the parties and some amici at an oral argument on March 27, 2007.

PAINTED POST -- Dresser-Rand Co. said Friday that the National Labor Relations Board has rejected most unfair labor practices charges filed by Local 313 IUE CWA.
The company said in a news release that the federal agency determined the recent 16-week strike by 400 members of Local 313 was an "economic strike," not an "unfair labor practices" strike.
That means, according to Dresser-Rand, that the company will not be required to pay back pay to strikers and will be allowed to keep permanent replacement workers hired during the strike.
The company hired an estimated 90 replacement workers.

The agreement would mean that Mr. Barden would remain agnostic on the issue of whether hospitality workers employed at his Majestic Star Casino should organize.
