The National Labor Relations Board has asked a federal judge to order Fishers-based Marsh Supermarkets to rehire a pro-union
worker whom the company fired.
The United Food and Commercial Workers union is trying to organize the grocery chain's 5,000 workers in
about 100 stores in Indiana and Ohio, but has been unsuccessful so far.
Tony Massey was fired Sept. 7 from his job in Marsh's Beech Grove store, according to a complaint filed Sept. 15. It
says Massey was required to take a Breathalyzer test while on the job before being fired.
Marsh issued a statement Wednesday saying the company "vehemently denies the charges and looks forward" to a hearing.
The labor board asked a federal judge in Indianapolis to order Marsh to offer to rehire Massey, make up his lost pay and
clean his employment record.

As a union member for the last 16 yrs, I do not argue that the higher
ups in the union have done a lot to harm what good
It initially set out to do.
Nonetheless Companies do not have the right to
Violate our rights, no more than any other human being,
We have the right to organize, regardless of what
The unions have done to harm us.
Marsh is and continues to not care about workers, in their stores and their distribution centers.
