Organizing Rights

The right to join with coworkers.

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) protects the rights of most private-sector employees to organize, to engage in group efforts to improve their wages and working conditions, to determine whether to have a union as their bargaining representative, to engage in collective bargaining, and to refrain from any of these activities.
