Unilateral Changes by Employer--Work Conditions--Vacation, Standards.--By unilaterally making midterm alterations to a collective bargaining agreement, including changing vacation provisions, instituting minimum performance standards and implementing disciplinary action based upon those unlawful standards, an employer violated its bargaining duty. The employer failed to give a union any advance notice of the changes or an opportunity to bargain over them, merely presenting the changes to the union as a fait accompli. Section 8(a)(5).
