The US federal law (1935) that protects workers' rights to organise, join unions, bargain collectively, and engage in "concerted activities" — and prohibits unfair labour practices by employers and unions.
The National Labor Relations Act 1935 (the Wagner Act), administered by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), guarantees private sector employees the right to: form, join, or assist labour organisations; bargain collectively through representatives; and engage in concerted activities for mutual aid or protection. "Concerted activity" — protected even without a union — includes co-workers discussing wages, working together to improve conditions, or protesting employer conduct. Employers cannot retaliate for any of these activities.
Three warehouse workers are fired after they together complain to their manager about safety conditions. Even without a union, this "concerted activity" is protected under the NLRA. The workers file an unfair labour practice charge with the NLRB. The NLRB investigates and orders reinstatement with back pay.
