Abstract

In most companies, workers try to overcome the problems caused by vertical communication for better interaction between coworkers, and after the advance of capitalism, because of the imbalance of power between the capitalist class and the working class, the discussion about the labor right has been continuously rosed. In a capitalist society, money is power, so the working class had to have relatively low power. However, the National Labor Relations Act and National Labor Relations Board, which is based on the National Labor Relations Act, fought with the company on behalf of the workers. This research was conducted by analyzing the significant turning point of unionization and the relationship between authority and communication. As a result of the analysis, it was shown that the balanced negotiation could result in alleviated income inequality and became the basis of unionization and labor right.
