Abstract
"The evidence reviewed by the Commission demonstrated conclusively that current labor law is not achieving its stated intent of encouraging collective bargaining and protecting workers’ rights to choose whether or not to be represented at their workplace. Rectifying this situation is important to insure that these rights are realized for the workers who wish to exercise them, to de‐escalate workplace conflicts, and to create an overall climate of trust and cooperation at the workplace and in the broader labor and management community."
