Section 8 of the NLRA defines a list of unfair labor practices by employers and by unions. Restrictions on employees’ organizing or soliciting activity may violate Section 8(a)(1) or 8(b)(1); employer support, domination, or control of a labor organization [as defined by Section 2(5)] may be in violation of Section 8(a)(2). When a union demonstrates the support of a majority of the employees in the bargaining unit, both the union and the employer are required to bargain in good faith, as defined in Section 8(d).
What is the relevance of motive under Section 8(a)(1)? What is the relevance of motive under Section 8(a)(3)? Explain with an example or case.
