一名联邦劳工委员会官员指责本田非法打击印第安纳州格林斯堡一家工厂的工会组织，如果汽车制造商不解决索赔，它将不得不面对听证会。
在周二提交的一份投诉中，美国国家劳工关系委员会（NLRB）的一名区域主任声称
，本田违反了美国劳动法，该法赋予工人参与工会组织和倡导改善工作条件的自由。
起诉书称，本田强迫其印第安纳州工厂的工人从安全头盔上取下美国汽车工人联合会（UAW）的贴纸，威胁要对工会支持者进行纪律处分，并非法监视员工。

这家日本汽车制造商补充说，“提出不公平的劳工行为指控是工会用来为他们的组织活动进行宣传和关注的常用策略。
去年12月，美国汽车工人联合会（
UAW）声称，本田、现代和大众正在使用非法手段阻止工人组织和加入UAW。格林斯堡工厂拥有约2,400名员工，UAW表示，已有数百人签署了工会卡。本田员工乔什·库皮特（Josh
Cupit）去年年底声称，管理层“非法要求我们从帽子上取下工会贴纸，并且基本上是用文章威胁我们。
UAW发起了一项雄心勃勃的倡议，以尽可能多地将美国汽车行业工会化。今年5月，它在阿拉巴马州梅赛德斯-奔驰（Mercedes-Benz）工厂工会化的投票中失利。选举结果公布后不久，UAW
呼吁举行新的选举，声称该汽车制造商解雇了支持工会的员工，并经常举行俘虏听众会议，以促进反工会情绪。

- Honda has been accused of forcing workers to remove UAW
stickers from safety helmets.
- The automaker denies the claims, stating they will
fight them at a hearing in October.
- United Auto Workers leaders want to see Honda’s
Greensburg plant unionize.
A federal labor board official
has accused Honda of
illegally cracking down on union organizing at a factory in
Greensburg, Indiana, and if the carmaker doesn’t settle the claims,
it’ll have to face a hearing.
In a complain filed Tuesday, a National Labor Relations Board
(NLRB) regional director alleged that
Honda violated a U.S.
labor law that grants workers the freedom to participate in union
organizing and advocate for better working conditions.
The complaint asserts that Honda forced workers at its Indiana
factory to remove United Auto Workers (UAW) stickers from their
safety helmets, threatened to discipline union supporters, and
unlawfully surveilled employees.

Factories
Honda has stated that it believes the claims lack merit. According
to NLRB spokeswoman Kayla Blado, if the claims are not settled, an
administrative judge will conduct a hearing in October. Following
this, a five-member board from the NLRB can review the judge’s
ruling, and has the option to appeal any decision to federal
appeals courts. Honda, in a statement to
Reuters, expressed that it ‘looks forward to a hearing
The Japanese car manufacturer added that “filing unfair labor
practice charges [is] a common tactic used by the union to generate
publicity and attention for their organizing campaigns.”
In December, the United Auto Workers (
UAW) union claimed that
Honda, Hyundai, and Volkswagen were using illegal tactics to
prevent workers from organizing and joining the UAW. The Greensburg
facility employs approximately 2,400 people, and the UAW has said
hundreds have already signed union cards to join it. Honda worker
Josh Cupit claimed late last year that management was “illegally
tell us to remove union stickers from our hats, and for basically
threatening us with write-ups.”
The UAW has launched an ambitious initiative to unionize as much of
the U.S. auto industry as possible. In May, it lost a vote to
unionize a Mercedes-Benz factory in Alabama. Shortly after the
result, the UAW
called for a new election, alleging that the car manufacturer
had terminated pro-union employees and conducted frequent
captive-audience meetings to promote anti-union sentiments.
