According to Fritz and at least two other union members who attended the meeting, at no time did HUCTW representatives propose that the guards' union join their organization.
Though the University denies it helped to organize the early March meeting, it is named as the object of the NLRB complaint.
If this meeting is indeed the subject of the complaint, the University would be responsible simply because the meeting was held on University property.
Robert Travers, who is currently the vice president of the guards' union, also attended the meeting, according to Fritz and another guard who was present.
University officials--who are accustomed to negotiating with HUCTW--deny allegations that they've supported Fritz in his candidacy, which surfaced in the past month.
"We do not interfere into union activities and we would never step in and try to influence the inner workings of a professional union," said University spokesperson Joe Wrinn.
Fritz's campaign for the union presidency has also come under scrutiny by fellow guards.
Besides alleging that he has received University support, some union members wonder if he conducts his campaign while on the clock.
