Description
NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT-- OVERSTOCK SALE -- Significantly reduced list price The National Labor Relations Board, an independent Federal agency, initiates no cases: it acts only on those cases brought before it. All proceedings originate from filings by the major segment of the public covered by the National Labor Relations Act employees, labor unions, and private employers who are engaged in interstate commerce. During fiscal year 2009, 25,855 cases were received by the Board. Statistical highlights of NLRB s casehandling activities in fiscal 2009 include: The NLRB conducted 1,619 conclusive representation elections among some 96,964 employee voters, with workers choosing labor unions as their bargaining agents in 63.8 percent of the elections. Although the Agency closed 25,367 cases, 12,049 cases were pending in all stages of processing at the end of the fiscal year. The closings included 22,457 cases involving unfair 1 See discussion infra, p. 57. 2 Seventy-Fourth Annual Report of the National Labor Relations Board labor practice charges and 2,693 cases affecting employee representation and 217 related cases. Settlements, avoiding formal litigation while achieving the goal of equitable remedies in unfair labor practice situations, numbered 7,795. The amount of $77,611,322 in reimbursement to employees illegally discharged or otherwise discriminated against in violation of their organizational rights was obtained by the NLRB from employers and unions. This total was for lost earnings, fees, dues, and fines. The NLRB obtained 1,549 offers of job reinstatements, with 1,214 acceptances. Acting on the results of professional staff investigations, which produced a reasonable cause to believe unfair labor practices had been committed, Regional Offices of the NLRB issued 1,096 complaints, setting the cases for hearing. NLRB s corps of administrative law judges issued 190 decisions, of which 21 were noncompliant election objection cases.
