One of the issues presented by the RAISE Bill is exclusive representation. That is, under the NLRA, the union chosen by the employees by majority vote or recognized by the employer as the majority representative of the workers, is the exclusive representative of all the employees in the bargaining unit.
Although employees are allowed to discuss problems and even reach resolutions of them with the employer, those resolutions cannot trump the terms of the collective bargaining agreement.
