Keeping written notes of any incidents in which company officials or supervisors threaten, harass, or punish workers because of union activity.
Immediately reporting any such incidents to your organizing committee and the union staff.
Enforcing Your Rights
Some employers try to prevent the workers from joining a union. The best way to encourage your employer to recognize the union and negotiate a fair contract is to build strong union support at your workplace.
If your employer violates the law, the union can help you file "unfair labor practice" charges with the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board).
The Labor Board has the power to order an employer to stop interfering with employee rights, to provide back pay, and to reverse any action taken against workers for union activity.
You can help protect your legal rights by:
|
Keeping written notes of any incidents in which company officials or supervisors threaten, harass, or punish workers because of union activity. |
|
Immediately reporting any such incidents to your organizing committee and the union staff. |
Your report should include what was said or done, who was involved, where and when it happened, and the names of any witnesses.
