700.00000 – EMPLOYER DOMINATION OR ASSISTANCE; DOMINATION OF OR ASSISTANCE TO LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
700.07000 – Favoritism; Contract Ban on Distribution or Solicitation; Unequal Treatment of Unions; Preferential Access; Duty of Strict Neutrality

Clearly unlawful to render assistance in such a way as to discriminate against another competing employee organization. Employer's extension of benefits to union in spirit of cooperation which doesn't constitute employer control or influence not illegal. Where more than one union involved employer must be strictly neutral in extending organizational opportunities.
