Advocating Solely for Nonemployees to Be Paid Is Not NLRA-Protected Activity for Mutual Aid or Protection: NLRB | Practical Law
In Amnesty International of the USA, Inc., the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) held that a petition for the benefit of nonemployee unpaid interns under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), with no direct implications on employees' employment terms and conditions is not "for mutual aid or protection" and therefore not conduct protected under Section 7 of the NLRA.
