The
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was created in 1935 to enforce the
National Labor Relations Act. NLRB investigates and remedies unfair labor
practices by employers and unions. NLRB' s web page contains the following:
- The Weekly Summary of cases (1996-present) provides brief
case summaries along with full text pdf or html links to some of the cases.
Summaries can be accessed first chronologically and then by case name. Go to
the main
NLRB page and select the second button (Weekly Summary) underneath NLRB Documents on the left side of the page.
-
Decisions of the Board, Regional Directors and Administrative Law Judges (ALJ) are filed online and are offered in PDF and HTML format. These decisions may be of interest to individuals and organizations researching NLRB policy and law relating to union representation elections, and unfair labor practice cases.
-
CiteNet allows you to find decisions using NLRB's classification system.
Decisions include February 1992 (vol. 306) to present. There are three search
categories: Search Heading, Search Digest and Search Case Name. If you do not
know the classification number or the case name, it is best to start with
Search Heading. This option provides the list of classification chapters.
If you select "All Chapters" from the drop down menu and click the "Search
Headings" box at the bottom, you will obtain a list of the classification
numbers with their assigned topics. The classification numbers are used for
case indexing in the database. Once you locate the topic you need, you can
click the classification number and you will automatically transfer to the
search criteria field. You can enter other pieces of information such as case
region, case type, case docket or decision type. When you have completed your
search criteria, click the "Search Digest" box at the bottom and your results
will be displayed. The results of your digest search will be "a synopsis of
relevant issues found in Board and court decisions."
- The
Rules and Regulations is available full text in pdf or html format. The online version is kept up-to-date as changes
are approved by the Board.
-
Manuals NLRB manuals explain and detail unfair labor practice and representation casehandling for professionals, judges and the general public. These manuals are written for a legal and non-legal audience and provide a wealth of material useful for understanding and navigating NLRB cases.
Some other resources that can be obtained via the NLRB website are Advice Memorandums, General Council Memorandum and
Operations-Management Memorandums.
