Section 8(b)(2) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) makes it an unfair labor practice for a labor organization or union to cause or attempt to cause an employer to discriminate against an employee in violation of section 8(a)(3) or to discriminate against an employee with respect to whom membership in such organization has been denied or terminated on some ground other than his failure to tender the periodic dues and the initiation fees uniformly required as a condition of acquiring or retaining membership. This section directly addresses the issue of unions causing employers to hire only those applicants who are satisfactory to the union.
