What is the NLRB? (HTML)
By U.S. National Labor Relations Board , Ed.
2007
Summary: This Fact Sheet describes the purpose of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and what they do. The NLRB was created to administer the National Labor Relations Act, the primary law governing relations between unions and employers in the private sector. The NLRB has two principal functions: (1) to determine, through the free democratic choice by employees, whether they wish to be represented by a union in dealing with their employers, and if so, by which union; and (2) to prevent and remedy unlawful acts (i.e., unfair labor practices) by either employers or unions. When an unfair labor practice charge is filed, the appropriate field office conducts an investigation to determine whether there is reasonable cause to believe the Act has been violated.
