This is false. The NLRB explicitly says so:
> It is an unfair labor practice for either party to refuse to bargain collectively with the other, but parties are not compelled to reach agreement or make concessions.[0]
They are only required to bargain 'in good faith.' Withholding benefits they would normally give is an intimidation tactic and an attempt to maintain leverage.

- gojomo 4y agoThat the benefits are new, and specific to the workplaces without the extra overhead/limits of a unionized workforce, suggest that weren't "normally given".
- collegeburner 4y agono, apple is currently conducting negotiations with the unionized store and there is no contract so presumably they are working on getting that into the contract as part of the bargaining process. which is literally the way unions are set up to work. messing with existing benefits could be construed as an intimidation tactic but delaying new ones due to going through the union workers just voted in is not, since the union has already been elected this isn't interfering with a vote or sm.
