Allegations of unfair labor practices against union workers are common.
I thought this particular story was entertaining as the allegations are against a union.

Employees picket union
Dozens of employees of the Service Employees International Union are picketing the union over its decision to lay off about 75 workers.
The staffers marched outside SEIU headquarters in Washington chanting, "Justice for all, not just some."
The Union of Union Representatives, which represents SEIU organizers and staff, has filed unfair labor practice charges and age and race discrimination claims against the union.
SEIU spokeswoman Michelle Ringuette calls the complaints meritless and says the layoffs were made because the union is shifting work away from its national office.
She calls the protest "a sign of a thriving Democratic movement" and says the union hopes to work out the dispute.
