The Law Protects Your Right to Form a Union
In 1935, Congress passed and President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the National Labor Relations Act, giving workers the right to form unions and negotiate contracts with their employers. Under federal and many state laws, workers have the right to:
Come together with other property services workers to form a union.
Speak with union organizers during non-working hours.
Read or distribute materials about the union in break rooms or lunch areas during breaks or non-working hours.
Sign a card in support of forming a property services workers' union.
Your employer CANNOT:
Threaten you with retaliation because you support forming a union.
Question you about your support for union activities.
Keep a list or videotape your activities with the union.
Withhold or give you benefits based on union activity.
When workers decide they want a union, employers can agree to recognize workers’ choice to form a union voluntarily.
