Exercise 39

Jose Ybarra was a labor consultant for Met West. A union election was pending at the company. An employee allegedly told Ybarra that his promised raise had not been delivered. Ybarra later allegedly told the employee that management had decided that wages could not be adjusted with an election pending. The union lost the election and filed suit claiming that Ybarra's statement was an unfair labor practice. Decide. Explain. See Met West Agribusiness, Inc., 334 NLRB No. 14 (May 23, 2001).
