Interference with two or more employees acting in concert to protect rights provided for in the Act, whether or not a union exists

Domination or interference with the formation or administration of a labor organization
-
Discrimination against employees for engaging in concerted or union activities or refraining from them

Discrimination against an employee for filing charges with the NLRB or taking part in any NLRB proceedings

Refusal to bargain with the union that is the lawful representative of its employees
