22 Apr Court Orders Mondelez to Pay $2.3 Million to Unlawfully Discharged Workers

Posted at 10:58h in Mondelez, NLRB News by

In March, three former employees of Mondelez at the Fairlawn, N.J. bakery (Local 719) received a monetary award totaling $2.3 million, resulting from a 2020 NLRB Decision finding that they were unlawfully suspended and terminated in retaliation for their Union support or otherwise engaging in protected concerted activities.

The three workers were icing mixers and floor helpers at the plant and were active in Local 719 for many years prior to their unlawful discharges.

Mondelez was ordered to, among other things, reinstate the three workers and make them whole for their loss of earnings and other benefits, compensate them for adverse tax consequences, file a report allocating the monetary award to the appropriate calendar year, expunge their unlawful suspensions and discharges from their files and notify them in writing that this was done, and post and distribute a Notice to Employees informing them of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act and affirming that those rights will not be violated by the Employer.  The Fair Lawn Nabisco bakery was closed permanently by Mondelez in July 2021. Mondelez paid the three employees a lump sum monetary award totaling $2,313,126, expunged all references to the unlawful suspensions and discharges from their files, and mailed a Notice to Employees. The three employees waived reinstatement at any of Mondelez other facilities.
