Another win for workers as CUNA Mutual credit union loses to the union at the National Labor Relations Board and in a corporate campaign. The Office and Professional Employees International Union, OPEIU, has been told by CUNA Mutual that the company will agree to stop illegal labor practices like spying on the union, bad-faith bargaining, and threatening employees with lockouts and layoffs in response to the union¹s successful corporate campaign. OPEIU Local 39 Business Manager John Peterson says with this win, workers will go back into talks with the company to settle new contract terms.

[John Peterson 1]: "We're planning to sit down with company very soon - next week or so - to negotiate hopefully a conclusion to these very long contract negotiations."

The NLRB ruled December 15th that CUNA Mutual Group was guilty of more than 20 violations of labor law that included harassing employees in retaliation for union activities. On January 14th CUNA Mutual agreed to provide the relief sought by the NLRB General Counsel. The company was forced to agree to bargain in good faith.
