It is unlawful for an employer to “interrogate” employees about their own or co‐workers' feelings toward or interest in a union. In fact, all forms of questioning about union affairs or the employees' sentiments about unions are illegal . What follows are examples of some of the more common types of questions that could be viewed as illegal by the NLRB. Also, asking employees during prehire conversations and interviews whether they are in favor of a union, whether they have been a union member in the past, or even bringing up the subject in any way could be an unfair labor practice.
