National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) is a U.S. law passed in 1935 that protects the rights of employees to organize and engage in collective bargaining with their employers. It allows workers to form unions, seek better wages, benefits, and working conditions, and prohibits employers from interfering in these activities. The NLRA established the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to oversee and enforce these rights, ensuring that both employees and employers adhere to fair labor practices. The act aims to promote stable labor relations and safeguard workers' interests in their workplace.
