Which of the following is NOT a right provided by the NLRA to employees?

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) is designed to protect the rights of employees regarding their participation in labor organizations and collective bargaining processes. Among the rights specifically granted by the NLRA are the ability for employees to join unions, engage in collective bargaining through their representatives, and self-organize.

While the NLRA gives a framework for collective negotiation, it does not provide employees with the explicit right to individually negotiate wages within the same parameters as collective bargaining. This means that employees have the right to discuss and negotiate wages as part of a collective group representation, but the act does not empower them to individually negotiate terms in a way that would compromise the collective bargaining process established by their union or representative body.

In this context, the status of individual wage negotiation is nuanced; while employees can technically negotiate their wages on an individual basis, doing so might conflict with the collective bargaining agreements that a union would establish on behalf of its members. The NLRA primarily protects collective actions rather than individual negotiations. This is why the option regarding individual wage negotiations does not fall under the protections afforded by the NLRA.
