Federal labor officials have ordered the Space Needle to stop interfering with employees' union activities, said the union that represents the workers.
Late Friday, a three-member panel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) handed down a ruling against the Space Needle, according to the union. The board found that the Space Needle had violated federal labor laws by discouraging workers from participating in their union since their contract expired in 2011.
The union said its fight for a new contract continues. The company has offered the approximately 200 Space Needle union employees one raise in the last four-and-a-half years – an increase of 35 cents-an-hour two years ago, according to the union.
The NLRB also told the company to return two employees to work with back pay, and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in back dues that the company owes to the union representing Space Needle workers, Unite Here Local 8.
