May 15, 2024 – Viceroy have obtained redacted settlement documents from a case between the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and American Income Life. While heavily redacted, the documents clearly concern the pseudo-compulsory membership of its agents to OPIEU Local 277.
The charges filed against the Zach Hart agency state that intimidation and threats to join or remain in the union occurred at AIL, a practice former agents have reported across AIL’s entire agency structure.
The practice of implied or explicit forced union membership is another legal headache for Globe Life, and it appears to exist across AIL’s entire agency structure. American Income Life is already the subject of multiple NLRB complaints, whether for unsafe work environments, labor law breaches or union issues.
As always, more to come.
