To prove his point, he offered the employees a 5% pay increase. The GM's actions are legal under the NLRA.

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), an employer cannot interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of their rights to organize, form, join, or assist a labor organization for collective bargaining purposes. Offering a pay increase in response to unionization efforts can be seen as an attempt to influence or dissuade employees from joining or forming a union, which is considered an unfair labor practice.
