"We believe that both decisions should be equally protected which is why we talk openly, candidly and respectfully about these topics, actively sharing facts with employees so they can use that information to make an informed decision," Hards said in a statement.
Hards said the company doesn't retaliate against employees for union activities, and called claims that its employee monitoring discourages them from unionizing "odd." She also disputed Medelius-Marsano's claim that the company tracks employees by scanning their badges.
