"Right to Work" Union Issues for Multistate Organizations: New How To Added

Author: Melissa Gonzalez Boyce, XpertHR Legal Editor

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) permits states to prohibit an employer and union from entering into an agreement (a "union security" clause) that requires an employee to become a union member or pay union dues as a condition of employment. Currently, there are 24 states, known as "Right to Work" states, that have enacted a statute prohibiting the requirement of union membership upon or even after hiring.

A new How To has been added to the Labor Relations section to help a multistate employer understand its responsibilities and obligations when managing union-related issues in "Right to Work" and "Non-Right to Work" states.
