Back in February, Kristen Rich testified before a legislative committee in favor of a bill that would have allowed Connecticut’s probate court workers to unionize. Rich, who was then a clerk in the Stamford Probate Court, said she was unhappy about pay and concerned about job security.
Shortly after that testimony, Rich was fired. She filed a complaint with state Board of Labor Relations, claiming she was dismissed for her unionizing attempts.
