What will be an ideal response?


The Wagner Act established the existence of the National Labor Relations Board. One of the duties of the NLRB was to ensure that all parties observed certain rules of conduct when involved in the collective bargaining process. Violations of these rules were termed unfair labor practices, and the NLRB is tasked with enforcing those rules. Management cannot interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of their collective bargaining rights. They cannot dominate or interfere with the union, or discriminate in any way against an employee who is exercising those rights. The union cannot coerce or restrain anyone who is exercising their rights to join, or not to join, the union. One of the guideposts for collective bargaining is that it is an unfair labor practice for either side to refuse to bargain in good faith.
