Boeing loses unfair labor case: NLRB rules in favor of union

Boeing Co. shouldn't have videotaped peaceful union marchers in 2012, a National Labor Relations Board administrative judge decided Thursday.

The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) brought the case against Boeing, claiming its members were illegally videotaped while participating in peaceful marches at its plants in Renton, Everett and Portland, Ore.

An NLRB administrative judge agreed, and ruled that Boeing (NYSE: BA) should cease and desist videotaping "employees engaged in workplace marches and rallies and/or near its property."

"This ruling is a searing indictment of the illegal intimidation tactics Boeing uses against its own employees" said Ray Goforth, SPEEA executive director, in a statement.

Boeing told Reuters it didn't know yet if it would appeal the decision.
