Whittier Street signs $232K settlement with union over alleged labor violations

Whittier Street Health Center will pay close to a quarter of a million dollars to three former employees to settle allegations of anti-union activity after a lengthy fight between unionized employees and management. The settlement agreement, signed mid-July, addresses complaints that union local 1199SEIU filed with the National Labor Relations Board, which alleged that the health center has used threats, discipline and firing to discourage union activities since staff unionized at the Roxbury health center in June 2018.
