Union Activities and Union Membership
Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA),
employees have the right to form, join, support or assist unions, also known as
labor organizations, who may bargain collectively with the employer on the
employees' behalf seeking to modify wages or working conditions. Employees also
have the right to engage in other protected concerted activities without a
union seeking to improve their wages and other working conditions. Employees
also have the right to refrain from engaging in these activities or to seek
removal of a union from the workplace. (However a union and employer may, in a
State where such agreements are permitted, enter into a lawful union-security
clause). Employees covered by the NLRA are protected from employer and union
discrimination, also known as unfair labor practices.
Unions are protected by the NLRA from unfair labor
practices, and guaranteed the right to organize, or attempt to form a
bargaining unit in private sector workplaces covered by the Act. Unions, chosen
as employee representatives, are entitled to engage in collective bargaining
with an employer on behalf of employees to modify their wages and other working
conditions.
