HR should advise the employer not to offer gift cards for reporting on a recent union meeting as it would be considered an unfair labor practice. According to labor laws, offering rewards or incentives to employees for not participating in union activities is generally prohibited. This is to ensure that employees are able to exercise their rights to organize, bargain collectively, and engage in other concerted activities without interference or coercion from the employer.
By offering gift cards, the employer could be seen as attempting to discourage employees from participating in union activities, which goes against the principles of fair labor practices. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) prohibits employers from interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise of their rights.
It is important for HR to advise the employer to respect employees' rights to engage in union activities without any form of coercion or interference. HR should instead focus on creating a positive work environment where open communication and discussion between management and employees can take place.
