National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)

Read a random definition: shareholder's liability

A quick definition of National Labor Relations Act (NLRA):

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) is a law that helps workers come together to talk to their bosses about things like pay and working conditions. It also makes sure that workers can join a union if they want to. The NLRA has rules that employers, employees, and unions have to follow so that everyone knows what to expect from each other. The law also stops unfair things from happening, like bosses firing workers for trying to join a union. If there is a problem, the NLRA has people who can help fix it.

A more thorough explanation:

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) is a law that focuses on the rights of workers as a group, also known as labor law. It aims to maintain industrial peace and limit industrial strife among employers, employees, and labor organizations, which could hinder full production in the United States economy. The NLRA encourages collective bargaining and eliminates certain practices on the part of labor and management, known as unfair labor practices (ULPs), which have been singled out for their potential to harm the general welfare.

  • Employees are guaranteed the right to organize and to bargain collectively with their employers through representatives of their own choosing.
  • The NLRA establishes a procedure by which employees can exercise their choice whether or not to join a union in a secret-ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
  • The NLRA covers the rights of employees, such as the rights to self-organization and collective bargaining, the right to strike, the right to picket, and the obligations of collective bargaining.

These examples illustrate how the NLRA protects the rights of employees to organize and bargain collectively with their employers. It also ensures that employees have the right to strike and picket, and that employers and labor organizations are held accountable for unfair labor practices. The NLRA aims to maintain industrial peace and promote full economic production in the United States.
