Protected concerted activity
- Protected concerted activity
Protected Concerted Activity or PCA - is when employees act together (2 or more) to protest or complain about terms and conditions of employment such as wages and benefits. This can occur in a union or non-union setting. This activity is protected by the National Labor Relations Act, which is enforced by a United States Federal agency called the National Labor Relations Board or NLRB. Some examples of such activities include:
a) 2 or more employees addressing their employer about improving their working conditions and pay;
b) 1 employee speaking to his/her employer on behalf of him/herself and one or more co-workers about improving workplace conditions;
c) 2 or more employees discussing pay or other work-related issues with each other.
The NLRA also protects any individual employee’s right to engage in union support, membership, and activities.
The NLRA protects an individual employee’s right not to engage in union activities or in other protected, concerted activities.
