Your RIGHTS

under the LAW

To protect workers from the illegal tactics many employers use to stop

workers from organizing, the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)

gives workers rights:

·        The right to join or help organize a union without being harassed or punished by your employer.

·         The right to have meetings at lunchtime or break time in non-work areas on company property, without being harassed or punished by your employer.

·         The right to talk about the union, distribute union materials, or ask your co-workers to join the union, on non-work time (including lunch and breaks) in non-work areas (break rooms, locker rooms, etc.).

·         The right to go to union meetings and wear union buttons without interference from your boss or supervisors.

* The right to hold demonstrations and rallies about the union or about work problems.

When you support the union or engage in any of these activities, fed­

eral law protects you from harassment by your employer. This means

vour employer may not:

* Fire, discipline, lay you off, or cut your hours for supporting the union.

·         Spy, or pretend to spy, on your union activities.

·        Threaten or question you about the union.

·        Grant or promise special favors to employees to vote against the union.

·        Deny you the right to vote for the union.

* Pressure you not to join a union.

Organizing is your right.

Secure your future with a union contract.
