A host of legal implications, such as the circumstances under which they can be used, what they can ask, and whether or not they are a subject of mandatory bargaining, arise when surveys are conducted by companies that have an incumbent union or by companies that are involved in union-organizing campaigns. The following article describes the survey process, outlines some of the inherent advantages and pitfalls, and examines the legal questions raised when surveys are used by nonunion employers, by employers with incumbent unions, and by employers who are involved in union-organizing-campaigns.

In addition, state courts and legislatures have begun to scrutinize the grounds for an employer's discharge of an employee, and Congress has statutorily prohibited the discipline or discharge of employees who \"blow the whistle\" on their employers under certain circumstances.

Auchter has taken steps to improve the image of the Agency and its inspectors while at the same time correcting federal overregulation of the work place.
