Disturbing news has emerged regarding TopiDerm, a company in the skincare industry, and their recent engagement with Logic Labor Relations, an anti-union persuasion firm. This development raises serious concerns about workers' rights and fair labor practices, as the company continues to resist the rights of its employees even after a successful NLRB election.
Anti-Union Persuasion Tactics:
On April 24, 2023, TopiDerm hired Logic Labor Relations with the intention of discouraging workers who had organized with UFCW 342, a labor union. Despite the successful NLRB election, Logic Labor Relations met with employees who were not part of the UFCW 342 voting unit in an attempt to dissuade them from following the union. This tactic undermines the democratic process and goes against the spirit of collective bargaining and workers' rights.
Implications for Workers' Rights:
The actions of TopiDerm and Logic Labor Relations have grave implications for the rights and well-being of TopiDerm's employees. By engaging in anti-union persuasion tactics and disregarding the results of a lawful NLRB election, the company is undermining the collective voice and bargaining power of its workforce. This behavior not only erodes workers' rights but also sets a concerning precedent for labor practices within the industry.
