Labor Board Probes Whether Nokia Violated Law by Outsourcing
Nokia is set to meet with the National Labor Relations Board in late April regarding the shutdown of its Ohio factory in December 2017. Nokia will be outsourcing jobs as a result of the shutdown and did not discuss this with union representatives prior to the factory closing. The Communications Workers of American Local 4390 had an ongoing agreement with Nokia that was set to expire in May 2018. The union claims that the company did not provide relevant information that was requested and failed to negotiate alternative work options for the employees, resulting in 187 jobs that were affected.
