Understanding the NLRA
In contrast to most other laws that apply to all employees regardless of organizational position, the NLRA’s protections do not apply to supervisors and managers. Under the NLRA, supervisors are individuals who have the authority, in the interest of the employer, to make personnel, to responsibly direct other employees, to settle their grievances, or to effectively recommend such actions. This definition of supervisor is intended to distinguish positions that are genuinely part of management from employees who operate like team leaders and from professionals in general.
Managerial employees, who formulate and effectuate management policies by expressing and making operative the decisions of their employer, are also excluded from coverage. It was no doubt news to many professors at Yeshiva...

Constangy Webinar: Protected, Concerted Activity and the NLRA
The National Labor Relations Act can protect employees in both unionized and non-unionized workplaces who engage in protected, concerted activity. Such conduct can, at times, be disruptive and problematic for employers. Join Constangy partner Jonathan Martin as he defines protected, concerted activity, and explores the ways in which employers can attempt to maintain order in their workforces by setting and enforcing behavioral expectations for their employees.

National Labor Relations Act
The principal federal labor law that governs collective bargaining by private-sector employees is called the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Not all employees have union representation. In fact, the vast majority of private-sector employees are not currently unionized. This does not negate the importance of understanding the NLRA and other labor laws. For one thing, employees who are currently not represented by unions might attempt to unionize in the future.
Nonunion employers often have dealings with unionized contractors and suppliers. Mergers or acquisitions might bring unionized employees into the fold. Even if an employer does not have any dealings with unionized employees, nonunion employees still have certain rights under the NLRA that must be respected. The NLRA and other l...

In contrast to most other laws that apply to all employees regardless of organizational position, the NLRA’s protections do not apply to supervisors and managers. Under the NLRA, supervisors are individuals who have the authority, in the interest of the employer, to make personnel, to responsibly direct other employees, to settle their grievances, or to effectively recommend such actions. This definition of supervisor is intended to distinguish positions that are genuinely part of management from employees who operate like team leaders and from professionals in general.
Managerial employees, who formulate and effectuate management policies by expressing and making operative the decisions of their employer, are also excluded from coverage. It was no doubt news to many professors at Yeshiva University, a private college, when the Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that they were managers. The Court reasoned that the faculty’s role in making decisions about such basic matters as determining curriculum, hiring faculty, and granting tenure was managerial authority exercised in the employer’s interest.
Of course, much has changed on the higher education scene since 1980. Full-time, tenured faculty members of the sort that the Supreme Court had in mind have become increasingly rare. The cadre of part-time, “adjunct” faculty—who are clearly not “managers”—has grown substantially, and they have obtained union representation at a number of schools. Additionally, state public employee collective bargaining statutes have generally been interpreted as covering faculty members. If you are a student at a public university, the faculty members at your school might be unionized.
There is one significant exception to the general rule that supervisors and managers fall outside of the NLRA’s protections. In one case, a manufacturing supervisor claimed that he was terminated in retaliation for his refusal to help the company “build a case” that it could use to fire two employees who were attempting to organize a union. The court made it clear that a supervisor or manager who is disciplined for refusing to commit unfair labor practices is protected by the NLRA.

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), also known as the Wagner Act, is a foundational piece of labor legislation in the United States enacted in 1935. It was intended to protect the rights of employees and encourage collective bargaining between labor unions and employers. Here are the key components and objectives of the NLRA:
Establishment of Rights: The NLRA grants employees the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, and to engage in concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.
Prohibition of Unfair Labor Practices: The Act prohibits certain actions by employers and unions that would interfere with these rights, including:
Interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise of their rights.
Dominating or interfering with the formation or administration of any labor organization.
Discriminating against employees to discourage union membership.
Refusing to bargain collectively with the representative chosen by employees.
Creation of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB): The NLRA established the NLRB as an independent federal agency responsible for enforcing the Act. The NLRB conducts elections to determine if employees want union representation, investigates and remedies unfair labor practices, and oversees the collective bargaining process.
Scope: The NLRA applies to most private-sector employers, with some exceptions such as agricultural workers, domestic workers, and independent contractors. It generally does not cover government employees, railroad and airline employees (covered by other legislation), or supervisors.
Collective Bargaining: The Act promotes collective bargaining between employers and unions as a means to resolve disputes and negotiate wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment. It establishes procedures for union certification and decertification, as well as rules for conducting negotiations and handling impasses.
Amendments and Impact: Over the years, the NLRA has been amended to adapt to changing labor relations and economic conditions. It has had a significant impact on shaping the balance of power between employers and employees in the United States, influencing the growth and decline of labor unions and shaping workplace practices.
Overall, the NLRA remains a cornerstone of labor law in the U.S., providing a framework for the rights of employees to organize and bargain collectively, and establishing rules to prevent unfair labor practices by employers and unions alike.

Creation of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB): The NLRA established the NLRB as an independent federal agency responsible for enforcing the Act. The NLRB conducts elections to determine if employees want union representation, investigates and remedies unfair labor practices, and oversees the collective bargaining process.
Scope: The NLRA applies to most private-sector employers, with some exceptions such as agricultural workers, domestic workers, and independent contractors. It generally does not cover government employees, railroad and airline employees (covered by other legislation), or supervisors.
Collective Bargaining: The Act promotes collective bargaining between employers and unions as a means to resolve disputes and negotiate wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment. It establishes procedures for union certification and decertification, as well as rules for conducting negotiations and handling impasses.
Amendments and Impact: Over the years, the NLRA has been amended to adapt to changing labor relations and economic conditions. It has had a significant impact on shaping the balance of power between employers and employees in the United States, influencing the growth and decline of labor unions and shaping workplace practices.
Overall, the NLRA remains a cornerstone of labor law in the U.S., providing a framework for the rights of employees to organize and bargain collectively, and establishing rules to prevent unfair labor practices by employers and unions alike.
