 <title>Third Circuit Rejects Union Lawyers&#039; Attempt to Circumvent Privacy Law</title>
 <link>http://www.nrtw.org/en/blog/third-circuit-rejects-union-lawyers-29172008</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Last week, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit rejected the appeal filed by union lawyers in &lt;i&gt;Pichler v. UNITE&lt;/i&gt; (read the opinion &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ca3.uscourts.gov/recentop/week/recprec.htm&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;), which should result in union liability to pay a multi-million dollar damage award to employees.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The facts of the case are simple: UNITE operatives launched an organizing campaign against the Cintas Corporation, among others. As part of the campaign, UNITE operatives surveiled employee parking lots and recorded license plate numbers of parked cars (as well as cars entering and leaving). &amp;quot;Information brokers&amp;quot; then searched Department of Motor Vehicle records to obtain names and addresses corresponding to the cars.
&lt;/p&gt;
