The U.S. National Labor Relations Board said on Thursday that Boeing Co committed unfair labor practices against its unionized engineers near Seattle and in Portland, Oregon, when it photographed and videotaped workplace marches in 2012. The federal decision required Boeing to cease and desist and among other measures to post within the next two weeks a notice saying employees are entitled to join a union and participate in union activities and that Boeing wont videotape, photograph or watch union activities, or create an impression that we are watching your union activities. The decision by Administrative Law Judge Gerald Etchingham also requires Boeing to rescind its security and management policies that call for photographing and videotaping rallies and marches in or near the factory. This ruling is a searing indictment of the illegal intimidation tactics Boeing uses against its own employees, said Ray Goforth, executive director of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), which filed the charges against Boeing.
