Overview

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) supports the right of employees to engage in collective action to address workplace issues. This right is grounded in Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which provides both union and nonunion employees the right to "engage in concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection." This includes discussions among employees regarding wages, hours and working conditions.
