Menards, the home improvement giant, has agreed to a settlement with federal labor officials to remove language from its employment agreements that were alleged to violate employee rights. The with the National Labor Relations Board requires Menards to post a notice to employees that it will respect their rights under federal labor law and “not condone or tolerate any conduct by our agents/representatives which does not comply” with the settlement terms.

“It’s historic.” He credits Marissa McDermott, from the McDermott Law Office in Highland, Indiana, for her work on the matter. Goldstein was prompted by The Progressive magazine’s December 8 reporting that Menards’ with managers called for their pay to be “automatically reduced by sixty percent (60%) of what it would have been if a union of any type is recognized within your particular operation during the term of this Agreement.” The company within a week that this language would be be part of its 2016 employment agreements. The NLRB, in a of its findings released in late March, agreed that this language violated federal labor law but said no further action was necessary given that the company had “already rescinded” this language. According to an email to Goldstein from Jessica Gibson, a Milwaukee-based NLRB field examiner, the company “had every managerial employee subject to that provision sign a document confirming that change to the employment agreement, along with some other changes.” The NLRB also found merit to several additional complaints lodged by Goldstein, while dismissing others. It found that Menards violated labor law in sections of its agreements with employees dealing with the use of confidential information, and by prohibiting merit pay increases to employees who engage in “protected concerted and/or union activities.” Most significantly, according to Goldstein, the agency agreed that Menards was violating labor law by requiring employees to sign agreements that preclude them from engaging in concerted activities, including class actions. “I don’t know of any large corporation that has agreed to take out class action waivers from their agreements,” Goldstein said, noting that the NLRB’s past efforts to require this have met with opposition from large employers in dozens of cases.

“This is the first case that a company has been compelled to take it out.” Menards, according to its website, operates more than 280 stores in fourteen states. The settlement agreement requires Menards to revise and reissue its employee handbook and contracts with managers to address these concerns. And it requires the company to pledge to its 45,000 workers that it will not engage in certain activities that were flagged in the complaints.

They made something of their lives. What do liberals do? Complain and smoke pot. Remember the story 'The Giving Tree'. I'm going to write my own children's story against liberals. Instead of the 'Giving Tree' my story will be called 'The Taking Tick'.
It will be about a great strong moose called the USA. The taking ticks keep sucking the blood and reproduce until the weak anemic moose is sucked dry of most it's blood (money). Then the two bears, Panda and Bruno (China and Russia) see moose's weakness and attack and destroy. But there will be a happy ending. With no more moose to suck on the ticks all die grievously of famine.

Corporate America and private billionaires violate federal laws and either pay a fine like the banks or are told to stop violating the law like this case with Menards. Meanwhile the average person is fined much more based on income or jailed. Or in drastic cases like Sandra Bland wind up dead as a result of failing to use a turn signal to change a lane.
