Labor Board Charges Sprint: The National Labor Relations Board will fine the long-distance company for the alleged illegal firing of 235 Latino workers who were seeking to form a union, the telephone workers union said. The Communications Workers of America said the board recommended a federal court injunction be sought to reinstate the workers. The union said the workers, all employees at Sprint Corp.’s Spanish-language, San Francisco-based marketing subsidiary, La Conexion Familiar, had been fired to prevent them from becoming the first Sprint long-distance unit to unionize. Sprint replied that the board’s action “is not a finding that LCF or Sprint has violated any labor laws.”
