The Law That Guarantees your right to organize Is Known As The National Labor Relations Act And Is Administered by The National Labor Relations Board.

For a full copy of the "ACT" please follow the link to the NLRB's Web, there you can access the complete law.

You can also search the NLRB's archives for Case Law under the "ACT".

Collective Bargaining

Joining together in a union gives the worker more power than He/She would have individually. Collective bargaining is the best way to secure the future of yourself and your family.  Wages, pensions, medical insurance, safety and skills enhancement are all improved when workers collectively bargain.  Individually we have very little power with the employers, but in a unified voice we can defend ourselves quite effectively.  Across the world, organized workers make more money, work in safer conditions and enjoy better benefits that workers who are not in a Union.

The Government of the United States of America enacted a Federal Law which protects and guarantees employees' rights to form a union. This statute is commonly referred to as the Taft-Hartley Act, or the National Labor Relations Act. Since the enactment of this law, millions and millions of employees have voted, through secret ballot elections conducted by our Federal Government, to form (join) a union to increase their wages, improve their benefits, better their working conditions and to obtain JUSTICE ON THE JOB ... SECURITY FOR THEIR FAMILIES.
