Laws and rules set forth by various government agencies play a key role in unions influence and bargaining power. These laws and regulations also set limits on how unions and interact. The National Labor Relations Act, and many government rulings that followed it, govern the actions that both unions and employers may take in dealing with employees and with each other. management.

Please read the case below and then answer the following question:

First thing Monday morning, Jane Smith, Human Resources Specialist at Willer Manufacturing, received an e-mail from floor supervisor Dave. Dave reported that, an employee had told him that a union organizer had called him at home the previous night. The organizer told the employee that the United Employees Union is starting a campaign to organize Willer Manufacturing's employees. The organizer appealed for the employee's support.

Jane knew that the CEO was opposed to union representation for Willer Manufacturing's employees and that she would be expected to devise and implement a plan to deal with this situation. She knew that wages at Willer Manufacturing were slightly below local competing companies; she thought that perhaps a wage increase would help reduce support for the union. However, Jane didn't know what employees she should target with her efforts. Would production employees, maintenance engineers, electricians, and supervisors become part of the union's organization effort? She had never experienced a union organizing drive, and she wondered what the union would do to try to organize workers in the plant.

QUESTIONS:

1. If Jane determines that one employee is the one behind the Unions organizing effort and terminates that employee, what might the National Labor Relations Board determine is the appropriate remedy for an Unfair Labor Practice charge filed by the Union?

2. Is the appropriate remedy adequate? Why or why not? (Be careful to reference the current remedy under the National Labor Relations Act, not a proposed remedy under the Employee Free Choice Act or the PRO Act.)
