Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The National Labor Relations Board, established by the National Labor Relations Act, was empowered to issue remedial orders, enforceable in the courts, to prevent commission of unfair labor practices. Five such unfair practices were outlined in section 8 of the act. Under this section, it is an unfair labor practice to: 1) Interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of their rights; 2) Interfere with the formation of a labor organization; 3) Discriminate in the hiring or tenure of employment or discourage membership in a labor organization; 4) Retaliate for filing charges or testifying under the act; or 5) Refuse to bargain with the representatives of the employees. Notably absent from this act are unfair labor practices that might be committed by unions, although there were unfair labor practices listed that might be committed by employers.
