What is an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) strike?
A ULP strike is a strike to protest illegal company activity designed to deny your rights and weaken your ability to achieve a fair contract. During a ULP strike, you have more rights and protection than a typical economic strike. For example, ULP strikes can be of limited duration, just days or weeks. Individual or groups of stores can be selected and rotated between areas and locations, as needed.
