Non-union employers are often under the misimpression that they are not affected by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) the federal statute governing union-related issues in the private sector.
A recent court decision stands as yet another reminder that this is not the case, and that non-union employers can still run afoul of the NLRAs ever-changing requirements (and that employees and their advocates are increasingly using the NLRA to pursue claims against employers, even non-union employers).
