Types of complaints against employers include, but are not limited to: allegations of unlawful threats, interrogations, and disciplinary actions such as reprimands, suspensions, and discharges based on union activity; promises of benefits if the union kept out; and, in the context of collective bargaining relationships, refusals to provide information, refusals to bargain, and withdrawals of recognition.
