NEW BRITAIN — - Council 4 AFSCME has filed a complaint against the Connecticut Bar Association, alleging that it fired an employee for union organizing.

The complaint, filed with the National Labor Relations Board, accuses the New Britain-based bar association of firing Michael Fryar, who served as the bar association's program development coordinator.

Fryar said he was fired on March 11 — the day after he met with representatives from Council 4.
