UFCW Accuses WalMart of Bribery to Stop Unions

The union said its complaint, filed on Tuesday, asks the NLRB to "aggressively investigate whether Bentonville, Arkansas-based Wal-Mart bribed employees to suppress worker support for union representation."
The complaint comes after The Wall Street Journal reported last week that former Wal-Mart Vice Chairman Tom Coughlin may have used undocumented expense payments to pay for anti-union activities, including paying union staffers to tell him of pro-union workers in stores.
"Wal-Mart's actions seemingly involved the criminal misappropriation of company funds to create an illegal anti-union slush fund," the union said in a statement.
