Labor board judge: Logan Square grocery co-op illegally fired 2 workers
April 11, 2023 // A Logan Square grocery co-op illegally fired two workers and disciplined others who participated in walkouts at the store, a National Labor Relations Board judge ruled Thursday. The Dill Pickle Food Co-op must offer reinstatement to the two workers it fired, administrative law Judge Arthur Amchan ruled. It must also pay them for any loss of earnings that resulted from their firings. The Dill Pickle, at 2746 N. Milwaukee Ave., must cease and desist from “discharging or otherwise discriminating against employees for engaging in protected concerted activity,” Amchan ordered. “The (unfair labor practice charges) were filed by our old bargaining union, the IWW, which is no longer our union. They were voted out by our current staff right now,” McCarthy said. “Management and our new union are actively working with one another right now to try and mitigate some of the issues that we have had in the past, and it’s been a very good relationship thus far.”
