The Illinois Labor Relations Board has ordered Plainsfield Park District to reinstate and employee within 20 days with back pay, 7 percent interest, and restored seniority. The employee?s termination resulted after he and a coworker were ?interrogated? by a member of management after having discussed organizing a union. The employee was then transferred, disciplined, and terminated. The transfer and termination all happened after the employee and a majority of his coworkers had signed authorizations cards and filed for certification with the AFSCME, but before any vote could take place.
