Labor Law
Many employers mistakenly believe that without a union representing employees, or seeking to represent employees, they do not have to worry about federal labor laws. The federal National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) proclaims:
It is declared herby to be the policy of the United States to eliminate the causes of certain substantial obstructions to the free flow of commerce and to mitigate and eliminate these obstructions when they have occurred by encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and by protecting the exercise by workers of full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection.
Employees are protected by several Labor Laws, such as:
- Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
- Age Discrimination and Employment Act (ADEA)
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
