The National Labor Relations Act provides employees the right to engage in conduct for “mutual aid and protection.” While commonly thought to apply only to unionized environments, the NLRA’s protections convey rights to employees in both unionized and non-unionized environments. Examples of activity protected under the NLRA include forming or attempting to form a union and banding together, even in a non-union environment, to strike or take other actions to secure better wages or other terms and conditions of employment.

Employees also have a right to raise safety and health concerns without fear of punishment. At the federal level, employee safety and safety-related rights of employees primarily exists through three enactments: the NLRA, the Surface Transportation Assistance Act, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. This webinar discusses the major provisions of these federal enactments as they affect employee discrimination claims based on participation in protected activity and safety-related complaints.
