Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) protects employees' rights to engage in concerted activities for mutual aid or protection, which includes the right to pursue class or collective actions. Rodriguez's allegation that Applebee's mandatory arbitration agreement unlawfully restricted these rights directly implicates the protections afforded by the NLRA.
