Visit the National Labor Relations Board’s website to find out more about lawful and unlawful strikes at www.nlrb.gov/strikes.

The Labor-Management Relations Act (LMRA): In 1947, Congress felt compelled to respond to the growing imbalance of power that the unions had gained, so it passed the LMRA. This act focused on defining union unfair labor practices and gave examples of prohibited policies and strikes. These prohibited practices include Wildcat strikes: When workers walk off the job without union authorization to strike, they’re considered to have gone wild, hence the name wildcat strike. The LMRA prohibits them.

Secondary boycotts: A secondary boycott occurs when employees refuse to work at their company because their company buys from another site that is on strike.

Jurisdictional strikes: Think of a jurisdictional strike as a territory dispute. They occur when unions are engaged in a turf war over who should be able to represent a group of workers.
