Congress enacted the NLRA on July 5, 1935. It was welcomed at the time and for numerous years later as the Magna Carta of American labor. Before the law, employers had liberty to spy upon, question, punish, blacklist, and fire union members. In the 1930s workers began to organize in large numbers.
All of Georgetownâs unions were selected through an election process administered by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). What is the NLRB? The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is a federal agency created to enforce the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The NLRA is a federal law originally passed in 1935 to protect the rights of employees and employers by, among other things, safeguarding employeesâ rights to choose whether to be represented by a union. Has Georgetown ever recognized a union without an election based on a majority of potential members signing authorization forms or cards? No.
