Question:
Roll and Hold Warehouse, the employer, began circulating a new company policy relating to employee attendance. The union representing the company’s employees objected to the policy, claiming that it had never been negotiated. The company argued, among other things, that the policy was not material (important)
and, therefore, that it did not need to be negotiated. The union charged the company with violating the law by failing to negotiate all terms and conditions of employment and by failing to bargain in good faith. Is the union correct in its position that the attendance policy should have been negotiated and that the company failed to bargain in good faith? [ NLRB et al. v. Roll and Hold Warehouse and Distribution Corporation , 162 F.3d 513 (California).]
