The National Labor Relations Board is scheduled to review a complaint filed by a 68-year-old part-time employee of an Evanston, Illinois, pharmacy who said she was fired for refusing to join a union.
Lynn Gray, who began working at the Evanston CVS Pharmacy in Oct. 2022, filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board after she said she was fired Dec. 15 for failing to join Local United Food and Commercial Workers 881 Union. She has since been reinstated and a meeting to begin reviewing the complaint with the National Labor Relations Board is scheduled for Jan. 11.
According to Gray, she was informed the store was unionized during the interview process in early October but wasn’t told that union membership was mandatory. She said she had never previously worked for a job that had the option to join a union and wanted to take some time to consider her options and ask questions of the store’s union representative.
