Cintas Sues Union for Defamation, Trade Secret Violations and Other Actions Cintas, PR Newswire
Cintas Corporation filed Tuesday a multiple-count federal lawsuit against UNITE, the Union of Needletrades, Industrial & Textile Employees, for defamation, illegal use of trade secrets and other actions that the union has taken in its year-long campaign against Cintas. The union seeks to organize Cintas' employees without giving those employees the democratic right to decide for themselves through a secret-ballot election whether or not they want union representation.

Former worker takes Cintas to court By Kristin Cavarretta
Miguel Campos, 21, of Chicago, was fired from his job at Cintas more than a year ago, and now he is taking the largest uniform provider in North America to court to prove he was fired for trying to join a union.

Cintas, which employs about 27,000 people in the United States and Canada, has been a target of labor rights groups for more than a year because activists say it does not provide good working conditions and Cintas prevents its employees from joining a union.
