Most employees in the private sector are covered by the National Labor Relations Act, which prohibits employers, employees, and unions from engaging in unfair labor practices. Generally, the NLRA gives employees the right to engage in collective action – whether through a union or as unorganized groups – to improve their working conditions. This law is enforced by the National Labor Relations Board, which has the power to file a complaint in court against employers who violate the NLRA. If your employer takes disciplinary action against you for participating in an activities protected under the NLRA, you can submit a charge to the NLRB and have the matter investigated.
