Trader Joe’s Tried Suing Its Own Workers’ Union. This Judge Wasn’t Having It.
The judge wrote the grocery store company had tried to “weaponize the legal system” against its workers, and its attorneys almost deserved sanctions.
Hasnain says:
Gotta love this judge
“Hernán D. Vera, a judge for the U.S. District Court of the Central District of California, wrote that the grocer tried to “weaponize the legal system” against the union, Trader Joe’s United, all in the hopes of “gain[ing] advantage in an ongoing legal labor dispute.”
Vera determined that Trader Joe’s legal effort against the union “comes dangerously close to the line of Rule 11” ― a federal rule that allows district courts to sanction attorneys for submitting filings for an “improper purpose.””
