, its national executive director, an NLRB administrative law judge has found that Parker “unlawfully” fired the guild’s longtime accountant “in retaliation” for her successful efforts to form a union among the guild’s staff.Nicole Oeuvray
In his 38-page decision, handed down on Friday, Judge Gerald Etchingham found that Parker’s stated reasons for firing Oeuvray on May 15, 2020, were “pretextual and her discharge was discriminatorily motivated.
Parker, who was re-elected in April, “does not deny saying ‘fuck OPEIU,’” the judge wrote. “But attempts to explain it as simply being frustrated and wanting to blow off steam because he had to spend time on less important union organizing considerations, and OPEIU coming into Respondent was viewed by Parker as ‘something that was inconveniencing .’”
“I heard that there is someone over there trying to union-bust,” Jacqueline White-Brown, OPEIU Local 537’s business manager/secretary-treasurer, told Deadline at the time. “That is what I heard from another employee.” Even so, White said that “We are looking forward to winning this election and to be able to provide them with a collective bargaining agreement. Just as Local 800 has a wonderful contract for their members, we are looking to do the same for ours.
Finding no evidence that her work had been unsatisfactory, the judge ruled that she was in fact “terminated by Parker and for her union activities.” “In contrast, I found the testimony of Treasurer Miller and Supervisor Parker to be particularly unpersuasive as a result of their inferior demeanors as compared to the other witnesses.”
The judge noted that the IMA Council “never wanted to be associated with Respondent in California as they are in New York but was forced to” merge as a result of litigation. The judge also found that “Parker fabricated additional supporting allegations that Oeuvray could not work with the IMA Council in an amicable way.
The judge also ordered the guild to post a notice in its offices that acknowledges that “The National Labor Relations Board has found that we violated Federal labor law and has ordered us to post and obey this notice.”
