Your
Rights
Under The Law
National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)
To protect workers from the illegal tactics many employers use to stop workers from organizing, the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) gives workers rights:
 |
The right to join or help organize a union without being harassed or punished by your employer. |
|
The right to talk about the union, distribute union materials, or ask your co-workers to join the union, on non-work time (including lunch and breaks) in non-work areas (break rooms, lockers rooms, etc.). |
|
The right to go to union meetings and wear union buttons without interference from your boss or supervisors. |
Federal Law
When you support the union or engage in any of these activities, federal law protects you from harassment by your employer. This means your employer may not
|
Fire, discipline, lay you off, or cut your hours for supporting the union. |
|
Spy, or pretend to spy, on your union activities. |
|
Threaten or question you about the union. |
|
Grant or promise special favors to employees to vote against the union. |
|
Deny you the right to vote for the union. |
|
Pressure you not to join a union. |
