What is the Teaching and Research Assistants Collective Bargaining Rights Act?
The Teaching and Research Assistants Collective Bargaining Rights Act amends the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to guarantee the right to form unions for teaching and research assistants at private universities and colleges. The National Labor Relations Act is a federal law that often serves as the standard on which states model their labor protections. A stronger NLRA means more security for existing and future state protections.
