Even though the workings of the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRB" or
"the Act") can have a tremendous impact on a company, too many
employers have a woefully inadequate knowledge of the various aspects
of the Act and how it can effect their operations. In the face of a
union election campaign, which is where most employers come into
conflict with the Act, many employers respond in a harsh and
threatening manner which places them in violation of the Act, while
others are afraid to say anything, which is problematic in inhibiting
their ability to convince their employees not to vote for a union.
