United States Seventh Circuit

Where a conversation between a union member and another employee passed without incident until the employer learned the conversation was related to union activity, at which point union member was issued a written warning, the evidence supported finding that warning was motivated by union animus in violation of Section 8(a)(1) of the NLRA; record lacks substantial evidence to support a finding of an unfair labor practice with regard to two other incidents.
