In April, yesR, employees at Soothing I decided to join Milwaukee Area Service and Hospitality Workers Union (Mash) and asked for fairwave voluntarily to recognize the relationship they refused.
Now two unanimous trade union support shows later, and Fairwave questions the results, claiming that “non -eligible employees voted in elections, encouraged trade union efforts, and his employees were” intimidated “.
