National Labor Relations Act
Section 7: "Employees shall
have the right to self-organization, to form, join or
or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through
representation of
their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for
the purpose
of collective bargaining..."
Section 8(a): "It shall be an unfair labor practice for an employer...to
interfere with,
restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of the rights
guaranteed in
Section 7..."
Protection from Employer Action
Under section 8, your employer cannot legally punish or discriminate against
any
worker because of union activity. For example, your employer cannot
legally do
the following:
* Threaten
to or actually fire, lay off, discipline, harass, transfer, o reassign employees
because they support the union.
* Favor employees who don't support the union over those who do in
promotions,
job assignments, wages, hours, enforcement of rules, or any other working
condition.
* Shut down the work site or take away any benefits or privileges employees
already
enjoy in order to discourage union activity.
* Promise employees a pay increase, promotion, benefit, or special favor if
they
oppose the union.
