1. What sort of evidence would a labour relations board expect to support a complaint of anti-union animus motivating an employer's actions?
2. When unions file complaints involving the motivation behind an employer's actions, the onus is on the employer to prove their actions were justified and reasonable. Is this onus fair to the employer?
3. Generally employers are expected to notify an employee of unacceptable performance, and to give the employee the opportunity to improve their performance. Are there ever circumstances where an employee's performance is so unacceptable that their employment should be terminated as soon as possible? If so, how should an employer justify that decision if it occurs during a union organizing campaign?
