    The National Labor Relations Board is vested with the power to prevent
    and remedy unfair labor practices committed by private sector employers
    and unions and to safeguard employees' rights to organize and determine
    whether to have unions as their bargaining representative.

    The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent agency
    created by the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (Wagner Act; 29
    U.S.C. 167). The Board is authorized to designate appropriate units for
    collective bargaining and to conduct secret ballot elections to
    determine whether employees desire representation by a labor
    organization.

    Activities

    The NLRB has two principal functions: preventing and remedying unfair
    labor practices by employers and labor organizations or their agents and
    conducting secret ballot elections among employees in appropriate
    collective-bargaining units to determine whether or not they desire to
    be represented by a labor organization in bargaining with employers
    about their wages, hours, and working conditions. The agency also
    conducts secret ballot elections among employees who have been covered
    by a union-security agreement to determine whether or not they wish to
    revoke their union's authority to make such agreements. In
    jurisdictional disputes between two or more unions, the Board determines
    which competing group of workers is entitled to perform the work
    involved.
        The regional directors and their staffs process representation,
    unfair labor practice, and jurisdictional dispute cases. They issue
    complaints in unfair labor practice cases; seek settlement of unfair
    labor practice charges; obtain compliance with Board orders and court
    judgments; and petition district courts for injunctions to prevent or
    remedy unfair labor practices. The regional directors direct hearings in
    representation cases; conduct elections pursuant to the agreement of the
    parties or the decision-making authority delegated to them by the Board
    or pursuant to Board directions; and issue certifications of
    representatives when unions win or certify the results when unions lose
    employee elections. They process petitions for bargaining unit
    clarification, for amendment of certification, and for rescission of a
    labor organization's authority to make a union-shop agreement. They also
    conduct national emergency employee referendums.
        Administrative law judges conduct hearings in unfair labor practice
    cases, make findings of fact and conclusions of law, and recommend
    remedies for violations found. Their decisions can be appealed to the
    Board for a final agency determination. The Board's decisions are
    subject to review in the U.S. courts of appeals.
