A wildcat strike action, often referred to as wildcat strike, is a strike action taken by labor not authorized by their union officials, which has been illegal in the United States since 1935.[1]
In the United States, the 1935 Norris-LaGuardia Act held that clauses in labor contracts barring employees from joining unions were not enforceable, thus granting employees the right to unionize regardless of their workplace situation. Unions have the power to collectively bargain for its members and to call for strikes demanding concessions from employers. Under the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), federal courts have held that wildcat strikes are illegal and that employers may fire workers participating in them.[1]
