Quick Intro
The National Labor Relations Act gives most tech workers the right to organize and join a union. It also protects your right to take other collective actions to protect you and your coworkers on the job. Here are a few examples of actions that may be protected by the National Labor Relations Act:
- Talking to your coworkers about your salary, benefits, or other working conditions.
- Writing a petition on behalf of a group of coworkers to your boss to ask for a raise.
- Publicizing a workplace issue that you and your coworkers share on social media.
- Organizing a union with your coworkers and asking the company to recognize and bargain with the union.
