When employees express a desire to explore unionizing, the NLRB puts restrictions on employers to ensure employees can engage in concerted activities without interference from their supervisors. It is sometimes difficult where the line is drawn between acceptable actions by employers, compared to violating the NLRA.

Take a look at the AutoNation case. Here an employer tried to terminate an employee who was involved in union organizing. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and this court agreed that the employer went too far in terminating this employee.

If you were advising an employer in this situation, what information would you provide employees to ensure you did not violate the law?
