UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES IN THE CALIFORNIA WORK PLACE

Unfair labor practices are actions taken by employers or unions which are in violation of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and other legislation. These practices are uncalled for and are frowned upon by law and society. As an employee in California, you can fight back if you have been the victim of unfair labor practices in your work place.

Here are some examples of Unfair Labor Practices that your employer might have committed against you:

  • Interfering with, restraining or coercing you, the employee, to engage in or refrain from protected activities

  • Discriminating against you for engaging in or not engaging in certain protected activities

  • Discriminating against you for filing charges with the National Labor Review Board or taking part in any NLRB proceedings

If your employer has been found to commit an unfair labor practice, the NLRB has the power to order that such practice be stopped and to order payment for you, the injured party. An experienced California employment lawyer will help you defend your rights as an employee. Other common remedies, aside from your rights being protected, include reinstatement, with or without back wages.
