By Student Activists
After being subjected to an unannounced pay cut from $10/hr to $8/hr, 2 Cal Poly Pomona student marketing representatives were fired by their employer, Mountain View-based Uloop.com, for attempting to organize a worker’s union. The students were fired from their part-time jobs 20minutes after posting a message in a online inter-company forum announcing their intention to form a union and have since filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board. The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 extends rights to many private sector employees including the right to organize and bargain with their employer collectively. Employees covered by the Act are protected from certain typed of employer misconduct and have the right to attempt to form a union where none currently exists.
