Your Rights Under Federal Law
The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) protects your right to organize, discuss workplace issues, and take collective action. Employers cannot legally threaten, retaliate, or interfere with your efforts to form a union.
You have the right to:
Talk about forming a union
Wear union buttons or shirts
Sign authorization cards
Attend union meetings
Ask coworkers to support the union
Vote in an NLRB election free from intimidation
If your employer violates these rights, Local 771 will take immediate action to protect your rights.

3. Win Recognition and a Contract
