Abstract
Professor Schatzki observes that the National Labor Relations Board and the courts have not adequately protected the rights of individual employees to engage in section 7 concerted activities. He suggests that the National Labor Relations Act should be interpreted to allow employees to participate in 'partial strikes' without being, in the Board's terms, 'permanently replaced.' Indeed, Professor Schatzki argues, employees should never be terminated for engaging in concerted activities unless they know or should know that their conduct is illegal.
