	National Labor Relations Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Labor Relations Act (or Wagner Act) is a 1935 United States federal law that protects the rights of most workers in the private sector to organize labor unions, to engage in collective bargaining, and to take part in strikes and other forms of concerted activity in support of their demands.
		The Wagner Act established a federal agency, the National Labor Relations Board, with the power to investigate and decide unfair labor practice charges and to conduct elections in which workers were given the opportunity to decide whether they wanted to be represented by a union.
		The Act does not, on the other hand, cover those workers who are covered by the Railway Labor Act, agricultural employees, domestic employees, supervisors, independent contractors and some close relatives of individual employers.

	Unbelievable Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board
		The National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB" or "Board") first ordered a respondent to reimburse litigation costs, in-cluding attorney's fees, in proceedings before it 25 years ago, citing its statutory authority to effectuate the policies of the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA" or "Act").
		According to the Board, however, because the NLRA "refrains from particularizing the scope of the Board's remedial powers," and because it "contemplates the exercise of broad discretion by the Board in fashioning a range of remedies suitable to remedy various unfair labor practices," the award of attorney's fees is not inconsistent with the statute.
		The Board's primary justification for ordering the Frontier to pay the litigation costs of its adversaries--namely, its presentation of a frivolous defense to the unfair labor practice charges--is especially problematic for the simple reason that it is not itself an unfair labor practice to present a frivolous defense to an unfair labor practice charge.

	Court: Case against Wal-Mart can proceed - Boston.com
		The National Labor Relations Board brought Wal-Mart before an administrative law court that ordered the company in 2003 to drop the exclusion clause after finding the exclusion was meant "to ensure, to the extent it (Wal-Mart) could, that its employees were fearful of losing their benefits, and thus continued to reject union representation".
		The appeals court said the vote was never held because the employees filed complaints with the labor relations board and in court was charging that Wal-Mart had undermined their efforts by threatening to withhold profit sharing, retirement and health benefits.
		But this was a case of two federal institutions, the courts and the labor board, being asked to act, the appeals panel noted.

		With the passage in 1947 of the Taft-Hartley Labor Act (also known as the Labor-Management Relations Act), the NLRB was converted into a purely judicial body, with the prosecution of unfair labor practices transferred to a general counsel.
		In 1959 the Taft-Hartley Labor Act was amended by the Landrum-Griffin Act (also known as the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act), which repealed the requirement that a union must file a non-Communist affidavit and a financial report in order to obtain a hearing before the NLRB.
		The NLRB's field of investigation was extended to cover the following practices as unfair to employers: refusal to bargain collectively, coercing employers in the selection of their bargaining agency, persuading employers to discriminate against certain employees, and conducting secondary boycotts or jurisdictional strikes.
