Via 313 has hired an HR consultant to stop unionization.
, a worker/organizer at the E. Sixth location, says that at first the founding owners of the pizza chain, brothers, seemed amenable:"Two months ago, we asked them point-blank if they would support our union, and they said they wouldn't get in the way. They said it was our right to organize. Then all of a sudden, the company started moving against us."
Calle and Epperson describe an organized campaign of"intimidation and manipulation," including the hiring of, an HR consultant from Labor Management Associates, whom they describe as a union-buster, to run several"captive audience" meetings. Epperson says he has"tried to bend the truth and intimidate people to either dissuade them from voting or hopefully get them to vote no … There were things he said that were blatant lies, like that dues were going to be $100 a month.
Ballots were sent last week to eligible voters at all three locations, to be returned by Oct. 20 and counted on Oct. 27."I'm feeling confident that we can win," says Epperson."But it's still been tough."
