To establish a prima facie case of unlawful interference, the charging party must establish that the respondent’s conduct tends to or does result in some harm to employee rights granted under EERA. The charging party need not suffer an adverse effect; rather, where employer conduct would reasonably tend to discourage protected activity, the likely chilling effect may, itself, constitute unlawful interference.
