Congress enacted the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") in 1935 to protect the rights of employees and employers, to encourage collective bargaining, and to curtail certain private sector labor and management practices, which can harm the general welfare of workers, businesses and the U.S. economy. The Act outlines basic rights of employees as follows:
Employees have the right to form, join, support or assist unions, also known as labor organizations, who may bargain collectively with the employer on the employees’ behalf seeking to modify wages or working conditions. Employees covered by the NLRA are protected from employer and union discrimination, also known as unfair labor practices. Unions are protected by the NLRA from unfair labor practices, and guaranteed the right to organize, or attempt to form a bargaining unit in private sector workplaces covered by the Act. Unions, chosen as employee representatives, are entitled to engage in collective bargaining with an employer on behalf of employees to modify their wages and other working conditions.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1935 to administer the National Labor Relations Act, the primary law governing relations between unions and employers in the private sector. The statute guarantees the right of employees to organize and to bargain collectively with their employers, and to engage in other protected concerted activity with or without a union, or to refrain from all such activity. For the NLRB to be able to help you with a workplace problem, you must be within NLRB jurisdiction -- which includes most employers in the private sector. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) protects non-union and union employees against discrimination based on union-related activity or group action ("protected concerted activity"). However, employers generally can make unilateral decisions about most personnel actions, including discharge -- unless employees are protected by an employment contract or collective bargaining agreement, and absent discrimination in violation of civil rights laws.
