The National Labor Relations Board filed a formal complaint after investigating charges that Marsh Supermarkets threatened and intimidated employees to discourage them from forming a union. The grocery chain also allegedly fired an employee for supporting the union.
Local 700 said worker interest in union representation began to rise at Marsh Supermarkets after Florida-based private equity
group Sun Capital Partners acquired the grocery chain in 2006.
United Food and Commercial Workers Local 700 says the grocery chain used illegal interrogation practices and fired a worker
for exercising his right to organize a union.
