of collective bargaining or adjustments of grievances.

has been denied or terminated on a ground other than the employee’s failure to pay
dues or the initiation fees required for membership.
(4) To refuse to bargain collectively with an employer, provided it is the exclusive bargaining
representative of the employees.
(5) To engage in, induce, or encourage any individual employed by any person to engage

handle or work on any goods, articles, materials, or commodities or to perform an

or otherwise dealing in the products of a producer, processor, or manufacturer, or

as the representative of the employees unless the employee organization has been certified
as the representative of the employees under this chapter.
(C) Forcing or requiring the employer to recognize or bargain with an employee organization
as the representative of the employees if another employee organization has been certified
as the representative of the employees under this chapter.
(D) Forcing or requiring the employer to assign particular work to employees in a particular
position, class, or employee organization rather than to employees in another position,
class, or employee organization unless the employer is not conforming to an order
of certification of the Board determining the bargaining representative for employees
performing that work.
(7) To cause or attempt to cause an employer to pay or deliver or agree to pay or deliver
any money or other thing of value for services that are not performed or not to be
performed or that are not needed or required by the employer.

an employee organization as the representative of its employees, or to force or require
the employees of an employer to accept or select the employee organization as their
collective bargaining representative.
(9) To engage in activities unlawful under section 1012 of this title.
