The NLRA provides basic rights to employees that are not to be violated by unions or employers. These basic rights include:

• A. to act together for purposes of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection
• B. All of the above
• C. to bargain collectively about wages and working conditions through representatives of their own choosing
• D. to form, join, or assist labor organizations

Answer: (B)

Understanding employees’ Section 7 rights under the NLRA is what this item tests. These rights protect workers when they organize, bargain, and act together to improve their working conditions. The right to act together for purposes of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection captures the broader idea that employees can unite to press for terms and support each other in workplace matters. The right to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing ensures workers can select who will negotiate with the employer on their behalf, providing a structured and democratic path to bargaining. The right to form, join, or assist labor organizations recognizes unions and other labor groups as legitimate means for workers to coordinate and advocate for their interests. Since each of these elements is protected, all of these rights are included, making the correct choice the one that encompasses all of them.
