AFL INTERVIEWS UWUA’s KATHY ANCILFOR ORGANIZING BILL
(May 7, 2007)
 Kathy Ancil, a member of the Utility Workers in Michigan, was featured on the AFL-CIO audio report in the run-up to the House of Representatives passing the historic Employee Free Choice Act. Ancil said she was followed at work after she began speaking out for a union:
“I was actually shadowed until I had to go down to our Human Resources Department to complain about it before it was actually stopped. They also had one-on-one meetings, tried to intimidate me and threaten me. When we attended group meetings, someone was watching from across the road. These are things that are illegal in a campaign. But when you file an unfair labor practice with the NLRB [National Labor Relations Board], it takes so much time. In the meantime, all these things were still going on.”
