NLRA
Private Sector Labor
The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the regulations promulgated under it were enacted to help manage the relationship between private sector employers, employees, and labor unions. These labor laws protect employees' right to unionize. Furthermore, the labor laws protect the rights of both employers and employees to engage in certain protected activities, for example, strikes and lockouts. Almost all employers and employees engaged in businesses that effect interstate commerce are covered under the NLRA and are subject to the jurisdiction of its governing board, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
However, the NLRA does not apply to relations between government employers and their employees. Therefore, government employees do not have the same right to organize and join labor unions as non-government workers, even when engaged in professions where they would otherwise be able to join labor unions. Instead, employees employed by the Federal...
One example of such a profession is air traffic control. Another example is rail transportation workers, who are governed by their own laws and regulating board.

Employees have pre-determined work days and duties under the leadership and direction of the employer and are not required to incur costs or
This was certainly needed as technology has also evolved from time to time and the nature of labor that was being used in the 1920s or so is not the same as is the nature today. This is certainly commendable. Along with the changes in laws, the emphasis on labor and its problems have also been shifted out of the center stage and matters that were directly being dealt
Labor Relations What changes are needed for unions to maintain support from their membership, the community, and the employers? In order to maintain support from their membership, the community, and the employers, unions have decided to change the dynamics of organizing by changing the environment and conditions where organizing occurs. They have become conversant with the idea that when the employers decide to use the entire 'arsenal' at their disposal, it becomes
" The "financial support" clause of Section 2 does not appear to have been broken, since the employer is allowed to confer with the employees on company time. The only point of question is the direct management participation in the committee. This could be interpreted as being more than conference. The employee committees, in order to fulfill the criteria of Section 2, would have to be comprised strictly of employees.
Labor Relations in Public Sector Collective bargaining in the public sector organizations will be quite different from that of the private sector organizations. The factors that drive the collective bargaining process in the private sector might not be present in the public sector.
