HR Glossary
What is Unfair Labor Practice?
An action by an employer or labor union that violates employees' rights under labor relations law, such as interfering with union organizing, retaliating against union supporters, refusing to bargain in good faith, or coercing employees regarding their union choices.
Why it matters in hiring
Unfair Labor Practice comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
