Top Ten Unfair Labor Practices
According to the National Labor
Relations Board
- Your employer has no right to cause interference with the
employee's right to decide whether or not they wish to have a union
representing them.
- An employer can not interfere with the unions
internal affairs. In general an employer should remain neutral during
any organizing campaign.
- Meetings with the employees as a captive audience
cannot be used by their employer as a forum or opportunity to criticize
the union.
- An employer interferes with the affairs of a trade union
when it prohibits the wearing of union pins in the work place.
- An employer initiating petition for employees to
withdraw their support of a union is also deemed as interference and
not allowed.
- Any employers communications with employees must concern
business affairs and not unionization.
- Comments like "the employees would be better off without a
union" amounts to interference and is not allowed under the law.
- An employer cannot issue a bulletin to employees that
sends an implicit message that employees can obtain a wage increase
without a union.
- An employer cannot say:
- union representation will not benefit the employees
- employees may speak about the subject with employer
representatives
- there will be serious consequences for the company if
you go union
- An employer who promises that conditions would improve if
they did not unionize would be conducting an unfair labor practice. An
employer must remain neutral during an organizing campaign.
