BACKGROUND
Nine Java Blend employees, including the four leaders of a union drive, were illegally terminated on January 23 according to an Unfair Labour Practice complaint filed by the Service Employees International Union. The employer's conduct has all the hallmarks of an orchestrated campaign of retaliation aimed at crushing workers' rights, according to the complaint.
