The options are either return to the office or leave with severance benefits. The company probably wants to limit the grounds on which the National Labor Relations Board might get involved - especially if, as is widely suspected, this is covertly a union-busting move.
- supertimor 3y agoNot very covert really. A week after workers announced they were unionizing, Grindr hired lawyers who specialize in employer labor relations and what they’re calling “union avoidance” (aka union busting). And then two weeks later Grindr announces their relocation/RTO mandate. From Littler Mendelson’s website (Grindr’s lawyers): “We guide companies in developing and initiating strategies that lawfully avoid unions” But yeah, I agree severance is probably their strategy to limit any pushback the NLRB might have on this, but just not sure how strong of a case Grindr can make. Especially after the recent rulings from the NLRB that gives more protections to workers trying to unionize.
