Wildcat strike action

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A wildcat strike action, often referred to as wildcat strike, is an illegal strike action taken by labor not authorized by their union.[1]

In the United States, the 1935 Norris-LaGuardia Act held that clauses in labor contracts barring employees from joining unions were not enforceable, thus granting employees the right to unionize regardless of their workplace situation. Unions have the power to collectively bargain for its members and to call for strikes demanding concessions from employers. Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), federal courts have held that wildcat strikes are illegal and that employers may fire workers participating in them.[1]
