Established
in 1935, the National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency
that protects employees and employers, and unions from unfair labor practices
and protects the right of private sector employees to join together, with or
without a union, to improve wages, benefits and working conditions. The NLRB
conducts hundreds of workplace elections and investigates thousands of unfair
labor practice charges each year.
