Abstract:
This Note argues that protecting individual activity does not determine unionism and is consistent with the text and the spirit of the NLRA. Part I briefly examines the history of legal protections for individual workers and recent proposals to provide additional relief. Part II shows that protection for individual activity—when it relates the terms and conditions of employment and can benefit other workers—furthers the general policies of the NLRA. Part III musters support from cases and legislative history to justify encouraging individual activity under existing law.
