How to Spot an Unfair Labor Practice and What to Do with It
Friday June 12, 2026 1:00pm - 2:45pm CDT
Bosses break the law all the time, especially when workers are not yet unionized. They get away with it because workers don't know the law. Learn the basics about employers' unfair labor practices and how to use the National Labor Relations Board as part of your campaign, plus how to tell the difference between a grievance and an unfair labor practice and when to do what.
