Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The NLRA (National Labor Relations Act) does not prohibit work teams with decision-making authority, and in fact, such teams can enhance employee involvement and productivity. However, the NLRA requires that management retain ultimate control over decisions affecting terms and conditions of employment, and requires employers to bargain with unions over such matters.
