[QUOTE="frozen-ace, post: 1200350, member: 10631"] Government employees make up the bulk of union membership in the US. Government employees are specifically exempted from the National Labor Relations Act and not under the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board. There is no special board for government employees. Another big group of union employees- railroads and airlines- are also not covered by the National Labor Relations Act / National Labor Relations Board. Airlines and railroads are covered by the Railway Labor Act which makes it harder for those employees to strike.

It isn’t all against the employer- they have many rules that the unions must also follow. When you read the text you see that it actually takes away quite a bit of power from the unions.
