Legal Question


right of employer to close a branch

I work for a small non-pofit office that fundraises for environmental causes. Recently our eleven employees voted to be represented by a labor union (a contract is still in the process of negotiation). This union opposes our organization on a number of issues that we fundraise for (arctic drilling, etc). Does our office (one of several branches nationwide) have the right to farm out our remaining fundraising to other branches, close our own branch, and lay off our employees before the negotiation is complete?
