National Labor Relations Board Union
Repping the NLRB’s rank-and-file since 1936.

- We, the employees of the NLRB, are calling on members of Congress to reject the Senate’s proposed funding deal unless it includes meaningful reforms for ICE and CBP’s operations. Our Union has never endorsed a government shutdown before. But we believe we have no other choice.
- The Senate held a hearing yesterday on the topic of Labor Law Reform. Some witnesses testified in favor of a bill that proposes to make first contracts easier to reach between unions and employers. But hovering over this hearing was the NLRB and its staffing and funding crises.
- 🚨🚨🚨 As the Senate leaves town in recess, the Senate’s Appropriations Committee approved a $5 million cut to the National Labor Relations Board’s budget. This comes less than a month after Senators, on a bipartisan basis, expressed their alarm over the ever-growing backlog of cases at the NLRB.
- Members of our Manhattan, Newark, and Brooklyn locals are distributing flyers today at NYU’s Conference on Labor & Employment Law, where Acting General Counsel Cowen is speaking on “The Future of the NLRA.” The future of labor law is our Agency and our members. Save the NLRB.
- 🚨🚨🚨 OMB THREATENS LAYOFFS AT THE NLRB According to Bloomberg, OMB has directed the NLRB to “think creatively” about how to reduce staff, despite President Trump’s appointed leaders of the agency agreeing that ANY job losses would devastate our ability to enforce federal law.
- Good on these lawmakers for highlighting the disastrous consequences that cuts to the NLRB’s staffing would have on our country’s workers. With our agency already stretched so thin, DOGE must understand that we have nothing left to cut. @bobbyscott.house.gov @gregcasar.bsky.social
- As reported last week, we can confirm that DOGE has entered the NLRB’s operations and detailed multiple employees to the Agency. We do not know yet what their intentions are. What we DO know is that the NLRB cannot afford to lose any more staff for the sake of “efficiency.”
- 🚨🚨🚨 Yesterday, the NLRBU learned that DOGE has unilaterally cancelled the Milwaukee office’s lease a year early, without notice. The lease will now expire in August 2025. DOGE has not provided the NLRB with any alternative for Milwaukee agents to perform their work.
- 🚨🚨🚨 In another example of DOGE’s destructive and erratic form of “governing,” the NLRB told its employees today that agency credit cards are considered frozen for at least the next 30 days. This throws any NLRB election or trial that requires overnight travel into question.
- 🚨🚨🚨 Today, two major threats to the NLRB were issued. First, the Agency’s leadership instructed all employees that they are unlawfully forcing employees to return to the office full-time by March 31. Second, OPM told all agencies to begin Reduction-in-Force (RIF) plans.
- The order to return to the office full-time is a blatant violation of the Agency’s collective bargaining agreements, which ensure a number of telework days that employees may use if desired. Neither the Agency nor the White House have any legal authority to issue such an order.
