The Dangers of Union Activity within a Non-Union Workplace
April 19, 2024
Trevor Brice, Esq. of The Royal Law Firm conducted a seminar on Union activity in non-union workplaces. This seminar was held on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.
Attorney Brice presented on the following topics:
- The Dangers of Union Activity within a Non-Union Workplace
- Recent Changes to Enforcement of the National Labor Relations Act
The popularity of unions has created dangers for employers, both unionized and non-unionized alike. Even if an employer is non-unionized, the employer risks violating the National Labor Relations Act and being subject to charges from the National Labor Relations Board if new laws and rulings are not considered.

Our attorneys successfully obtained summary judgment in favor of the Defendant from the Massachusetts Appeals Court in a Wage Act and contract dispute. The Complainant alleged entitlement to a substantial variable compensation award following resignation. We demonstrated that the compensation plan made such awards discretionary and contingent on continued employment at the time of payout. The Appeals Court agreed, finding that the award did not constitute wages under the Wage Act and that the Defendant acted lawfully in denying payment. All claims were dismissed in their entirety.
