The National Labor Relations Act Must be Revised to Preserve Industrial Democracy

Abstract

Professor Craver begins by clarifying the purpose of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA): Congress enacted the NLRA to equalize the bargaining power between employees and employers and to preserve industrial democracy. He then overviews the NLRA's protections and explores its enforcement history. After noting that the NLRA has provided significant rights for millions of American workers, Professor Craver demonstrates that recent Labor Board and court decisions have contravened the purpose of the NLRA and have eroded many of its protections. He argues that Congress should revise the NLRA in order to revitalize labor organizations and encourage industrial democracy.
