This
paper explains that
unfair labor practices happen when
management crosses the invisible line with an employee on any issue protected by federal from smoking policies to non-compliance with hiring laws. The author relates that the key-deciding factor of the Electromation Case was the employee
groups which emerged as a result of management style promoting total quality management or TQM. The case did not put an end to all employee
participation programs but established the criteria against which all EPPs must be judged when an unlawful employer
domination charge is filed, limiting what these groups can discuss. The paper concludes that, in today's business world, it can be argued that the American management system holds all the power because most of today's workforce is "at-will" and can be terminated at any time.
