Here are a few examples of unfair labor practices, according to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA):

- Interfering with union activities. Employees have the right to form, organize, or join a labor organization, and employers cannot interfere with this. Further, the NLRA prohibits employers from discriminating against workers involved in union activities.

- Coercing employees to not support a union. The NLRA states that it is the employees' right to choose whether to support a union. Employers cannot force employees to not join a union by threatening them, nor can employers expel members for taking part in union activities.

- Dominating a trade union. According to the NLRA, the operation of a trade union with the intention of obstructing union activities is prohibited. This law applies to employers and bars them from establishing their own union to interfere with the union activities of their employees.
