Labor Relations
 

The fundamentals of the National Labor Relations Act are discussed as well as National Labor Relations Board procedures. This is viewed from the standpoint of a company that does not presently have a union and does not want one. Basic information is given to supervisors on how to react to union organizing (such as by not looking at any authorization cards that might be presented to them). It discusses how to avoid unfair labor practices that can cause elections to be set aside if the company wins. The chapter also discusses and explains the "right to work laws" in effect in many states -- laws that almost always are universally misunderstood. The chapter emphasizes and explains the importance of management training for companies wishing to remain union free.
