Can an employer keep its employees from being represented by a union?
The National Labor Relations Act protects the right of employees to engage in concerted activity for their mutual aid and protection, including selecting a labor organization to represent them as their exclusive bargaining representative. The National Labor Relations Act also prohibits employers from terminating employees because of union activity. However, there are policies and practices that employers can adopt to discourage union representation, including explaining to employees why a union is not in their interest.
