The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) of 1935 was established to help protect the rights of employees and employers, encourage collective bargaining, and discourage harmful labor and management practices. It also created the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). When employees work at a unionized company, the union negotiates for wages, hours, and other workplace factors. However, if an employee or group of employees finds that their company is not following parts of the collective bargaining agreement, they can file a grievance. In your assignment, please answer the following questions:

Based upon your experience or recent research, what are some examples of grievances?
If you had to report a grievance to the NLRB, what steps would you take?
Using recent examples, what are the differences between mediation and arbitration?
If you were a human resources (HR) professional, what strategies would you recommend the company take to create a work climate where disputes could be resolved and grievances are a last resort?

Case study

 

 

Case Number 1-1 on pages 37 and 38 of the course textbook. This case involves the application of the protected speech component of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) as well as understanding the role of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in determining issues of retaliation. The highly political nature of the NLRB is also considered.

You will reflect on the legal and managerial issues involved and then answer the following questions in a two-page APA style compliant paper.
Question One: Given the facts of the case and the brief description of NLRA, aka LMRA, did ARC violate labor law by telling Mr. Potts to “Please keep your pay rate to yourself ?” Explain your reasoning.

Question Two: Did ARC retaliate against Mr. Potts when it laid him off and did not offer him work on other jobs? Did these actions constitute a violation of NLRA (LMRA)? Explain your reasoning.
