Work Stoppage due to Union Employer or Management Unfair Labor Practices

Unfair Labor Practices

While a majority of strikes are a result of economic disagreements between union employees and their employers, a strike can also occur if an unfair labor practice claim is filed.

Complete Solutions

Regardless of whether management disagrees with the charge a union may file regarding an alleged unfair labor practice governed under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the process to investigate the merits of an unfair labor practice charge remains the same.

Listed below are several areas that should be avoided to ensure your organization minimizes its potential exposure to unfair labor practices:

• Threatening plant closures if workers choose to join or form a union

• Coercing workers not to join or engage in union activities

• Promising extras to workers to influence their union support

• Assigning difficult or dangerous work duties to discourage participation in union activities
