Employers

The law's unfair labor practice provisions place certain restrictions on employers and labor organizations in their relations with employees and each other. For example, employers may not interfere with employees in the exercise of their rights or resort to discrimination to discourage them from unionizing. Employers are also protected, however, from union unfair labor practices, such as secondary boycotts. Employers should also consult the information addressed to employees and unions.
