A New York City bookstore rehired four workers who were illegally fired after voting in favor of union representation. 

Federal labor law prohibits firing employee in favor of a union.  However, the affected employees were let go because they had been deemed managers by the ownership.  Managers aren’t eligible to be part of the union and aren’t protected against being fired.  The managers who were let go argued that they were managers in title only.  The union filed an unfair labor practice complaint on their behalf and the book store has decided to re-hire all four store managers who were previously terminated.
