The privacy ruling marks the second time this year that UNITE was found guilty of unlawful activities in conjunction with its corporate campaign tactics. In addition to the ruling in favor of Cintas employees, a California jury found that UNITE acted with "fraud, malice or oppression" in another corporate campaign that significantly affected Sutter Health facilities on the west coast. The healthcare network was awarded $17.3 million following the verdict a few weeks ago.
Cintas designs, manufactures and implements corporate identity uniform programs, and provides entrance mats, restroom supplies, promotional products, first aid and safety products, fire protection services and document management services for approximately 700,000 businesses.
