Small Business Glossary and Definitions

Unfair Labor Practices are actions or processes used by employers that are not legal. The National Labor Relations Act and other labor laws set out many details on what rights an employer and employee have, and abiding by those rules is very important. If a company implements unfair labor practices, they are liable to be sued. Additionally, unfair labor practices tend to have negative effects on a company even with litigation is not pursued, such as low employee morale or toxic organizational culture.
