National Labor Relations Board - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent agency of the United States Government charged with conducting elections for union representation and with investigating and remedying unfair labor practices. The NLRB was established in 1935 through passage of the National Labor Relations Act (better known as the Wagner Act), which was amended by the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947. A predecessor organization, the National Labor Board, was established by the National Industrial Recovery Act in 1933, an act that was subsequently struck down by the Supreme Court. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Labor_Relations_Board   (415 words)

National Labor Relations Board FAQs Section 10(j) of the National Labor Relations Act empowers the NLRB to petition a federal district court for an injunction to temporarily prevent unfair labor practices by employers or unions and to restore the status quo, pending the full review of the case by the Board. The National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1935 to administer the National Labor Relations Act, the primary law governing relations between unions and employers in the private sector. The General Counsel, appointed by the President to a 4-year term with Senate consent, is independent from the Board and is responsible for the investigation and prosecution of unfair labor practice cases and the general supervision of the NLRB field offices in the processing of cases. www.business.gov /phases/managing/manage_employees/nlrb_faq.html   (833 words)

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. lw.bna.com /lw/19970805/961209.htm   (8775 words)

NLRB Watch - The Newsletter Devoted to Trends in NLRB Case Law and Administrative Decisions This week, the Seventh Circuit held that a Milwaukee County "labor peace" ordinance requiring certain contractors with the County to remain neutral during union drives is preempted by federal labor laws. He also pointed out that the labor peace requirement is just as likely to increase work stoppages by increasing the risk of strikes from more employers being unionized. The County had justified the law with the need to avoid labor disputes disrupting certain essential services for elderly citizens. www.nlrbwatch.com   (329 words)

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. www.boston.com /business/articles/2006/01/19/court_case_against_wal_mart_can_proceed   (471 words)

Reader's Companion to American History - -NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD The National Labor Relations Board (nlrb) is a five-person federal agency charged with regulating the process of collective bargaining between American employers and their workers. A forerunner of the nlrb, the National Labor Board, was established in 1933 to enforce the collective bargaining provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act (nira), but it had little power and was in any case invalidated when the Supreme Court struck down the nira in the spring of 1935.

National Labor Relations Board on Encyclopedia.com 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. The board of five members (appointed by the U.S. President with the approval of the Senate for five-year terms) is assisted by 33 regional directors. 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. www.encyclopedia.com /html/N/NatlL1abo.asp   (807 words)

Basic Guide to the National Labor Relations Act It also prohibits the Board from certifying a labor organization as the representative of a plant guard unit if the labor organization has members who are nonguard employees or if it is "affiliated directly or indirectly" with an organization that has members who are nonguard employees. Section 9(b)(2) provides that the Board shall not hold a proposed craft unit to be inappropriate simply because a different unit was previously approved by the Board, unless a majority of the employees in the proposed craft unit vote against being represented separately. If the strike was caused by the unfair labor practice of the employer, however, the strikers are classified as unfair labor practice strikers and their status is not affected by failure to follow the required procedure. www.nlrb.gov /nlrb/shared_files/brochures/basicguide.asp   (9962 words)

National Labor Relations Act, 1935 The act also created a new National Labor Relations Board to arbitrate deadlocked labor-management disputes, guarantee democratic union elections, and penalize unfair labor practices by employers. The National Labor Relations Act, also known as the Wagner Act, passed through Congress in the summer of 1935 and became one of the most important legacies of the New Deal. In 1947, when the Taft-Hartley Act was passed, it successfully killed the NLRB and replaced it with a new, five-member board whose mandate was of far less value to labor than that of its predecessor. www.classbrain.com /artteenst/publish/article_122.shtml   (312 words)

National Labor Relations Board By creating a permanent National Labor Relations Board with the power to supervise union activity and penalize abusive management practices, the NLRA fostered an empowered trade union movement. The National Labor Relations Act, also known as the Wagner Act, is often referred to as the Magna Carta of organized labor because it dramatically strengthened the ability of labor unions to represent workers. As could be expected, the new board quickly overshadowed the NLRB, but even after the war was won the NLRB never recaptured the activist spirit that had animated it during the New Deal. www.nps.gov /elro/glossary/national-labor-relations-board.htm   (362 words)
