During the unionizing campaign, organizers filed three unfair labor practice charges alleging that mandatory meetings were held in which a manager used “threatening and coercive language” to dissuade workers from unionizing and that Van Deventer photographed employees while they tabled on the sidewalk outside the store.
Knapp said he and his wife regularly take photos of the store and its surroundings and his wife stopped when she was requested to by a worker. The manager who held the meetings was being coached to take over the business, Knapp said, but he has since quit because he felt betrayed by workers.
