Stupid Union News:

From the LVRJ: A Clark County’s teachers union executive director is facing a federal hearing prompted by accusations that he fired an employee because she wanted to unionize.
“My job is to recruit teachers to join the union, but you won’t allow me to join a union,” claimed former Clark County Education Association organizer Maria Elena Hermanson.
Along with the Clark County Staff Organization, Hermanson filed a complaint against the CCEA’s John Vellardita.
The National Labor Relations Board, which enforces the federal law prohibiting employers to fire, punish or coerce workers who want to organize, will hear the complaint Aug. 13.
Vellardita fired Hermanson on Feb. 20 after her six-month probation period had ended. She met with him to discuss joining the staff organization already representing other CCEA staff, she said.
Vellardita contended in a Friday inter­view that Hermanson’s request to join a union had nothing to do with her dismissal.
“She was a probationary worker let go at the end of her probation because of performance,” said Vellardita, referencing the direction he has been given from CCEA’s board to “clean up” staff performance and improve customer service for the more than 17,000 Clark County teachers it represents. “We have a standard here.”
But Hermanson defended her performance and said the timing is more than coincidental. She discussed joining the union mere days before her termination, she said.
“It was definitely not because of my performance,” she said.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/education/teachers-union-organizer-says-boss-fired-her-trying-join-union
The only thing Hermanson did wrong is talk about unionizing before her probationary period,.
It's kind of funny, but you find that union leaders are really hard on their employees, if they are unionized or if they want to start a union.

As an aside, I belong to the teachers union mentioned.
