The president of a nonunion company called a meeting of employees to express his dissatisfac tion regarding worker productivity and scrap rates. He also announced that breaks would be more restricted. An employee questioned him about the new break policy, asking whether it was punishment for low productivity and whether it would also be imposed on work- ers in the office area. The employee blamed management for the productivity problems that the company was experiencing. The employee responded in the affirmative when the presi- dent asked if he should fire the managers. The president became annoyed by the employee's complaints about company management and said that the HR representative should "come up with a package" so that the employee could leave. On the same day, she was suspended for an in- definite period that turned out to be three weeks. When she returned to work, she was placed on indefinite probation. She remained in that status for almost a year. Did the employer violate the NLRA by disciplining the employee in this manner? Why or why not
