The NLRA allows employers and unions to enter into safety agreements that require all workers in a collective agreement unit to become unionized and to start paying union dues and royalties within 30 days of hiring. As the examples above have shown, unionized workers, who have high density in a sector, occupation, sector or employer, can overcome barriers to broader negotiations as individual labour relations and make significant profits at the bargaining table with their employers – benefits that do not only benefit workers directly covered by the collective agreement , but also to raise wages and set standards for non-union workers in the region. The resulting national labour law reforms would strengthen workers` bargaining power and allow them to continue to negotiate and set standards in their profession, sector or industry. A leading expert observed the narrow approach to approaches to individual work and one of the employers and said: “The LNRA, which focuses on business-based organization and negotiation, is at odds with the globalized economy and its multiple contracts. 19 The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) – the primary law establishing organizing rights in the private sector – has a sublime and admirable objective: “Promoting practice and collective bargaining” between workers and their employers1 Since the law was passed in 1935, millions of men and women have received higher wages, better health care and pensions. 2 In addition, strong trade unions have contributed to income growth being widely distributed among the wealthiest households and not just among the wealthiest households (see Figure A).3 27 countries have banned trade union security agreements by adopting so-called “right to work” laws. In these countries, it is up to every worker in the workplace to join the union or not, while all workers are protected by the collective agreement negotiated by the union. In Sweden, the scope of collective agreements is very high, although there are no legal mechanisms to extend agreements to entire industrial sectors. In 2018, 83% of all private sector employees were subject to collective agreements, 100% of public sector employees and 90% in total (compared to the overall labour market). [10] This reflects the predominance of self-regulation (regulation by the labour market parties themselves) over state regulation in Swedish industrial relations. [11] The Right to Organization (PRO) Act removes barriers to the organization of workers, 41 The PRO Act limits employers` efforts to make the union units of collective agreements in order to undermine trade union organizations by keeping them without employers away from the representation process42.42 The PRO Act contains a strong common standard for employers43. which would allow workers and unions to bring the employers involved to the negotiating table.
