Under Federal Law You Have A Right!

Organization through Unionism is a legal right. Federal Law gives workers in most employment situations the right to join together to form a Union. The law is known as the "National Labor Relations Act" or NLRA and was originally put into effect in 1935 as the Wagner Act.

Did You Know?

The National Labor Relations Act protects employees rights to discuss wages and benefits with co-workers. It has also been ruled that it is a violation of the Act for an employer to discipline its employees for discussing and comparing their current wages with each other. An employer can not make or enforce this type of policy.

The Act protects employees rights to talk about Unions with their co-workers.

An employer that spies on employees engaging in protected concerted activity, such as Union talk or meetings, can be fined under the Act.

Employers do not have the right to discriminate in hiring or firing based purely on Union sympathy or affiliation.

The National Labor Relations Act is for ALL employees, not just Union or non-Union. It provides All of us with protection. The National Labor Relations Act is administered by the

National Labor Relations Board or NLRB.
