Section 8(b)(1)(A) prohibits unions from restraining or coercing employees in the exercise of their rights under the NLRA, including the right to support or refrain from supporting a union. Discriminating against employees on the basis of race would be a violation of this section. The other sections listed do not directly relate to discrimination.
