The Board found that the employer unlawfully interfered with employees’ rights. To prove employer interference with protected rights, a charging party need only show that the employer has engaged in conduct that tends to or does result in at least slight harm to statutory rights. [Citation.] By communicating directly with unit employees on matters subject to bargaining before the tentative agreement was finalized, the employer interfered with the rights of unit employees to be fully represented by the union.
