The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was established in 1935 to facilitate union relationships between employers, workers and others. The NLRB is a separate government organization. According to the organization's website, www.nlrb.gov, the organization protects the employee's rights: 1. To self-organization. 2. To form, join, or assist labor organizations 3. To bargain collectively for wages and working conditions through representatives of their own choosing. 4. To engage in other protected concerted activities with or without a union, which are usually group activities (two or more employees acting together) attempting to improve working conditions, such as wages and benefits. 5. To refrain from any of these activities. (However a union and employer may, in a State where such agreements are permitted, enter into a lawful union-security clause).
