Where charge alleged that respondent removed a negotiated provision of the expired memorandum of understanding relating to union access rights and eliminated the Union Time Bank in response to the filing of grievances by individual unit members, such allegations are sufficient to state a prima facie case of interference in that the overall effect of the respondent’s conduct was to discourage employees from utilizing the grievance procedures and asserting their rights under the statutory scheme and, therefore, tended to or did result in harm to employee rights under the Carlsbad interference standard.
