Career Opportunities at the NLRB

Acquiring the right talent that aligns with NLRB’s mission is key to the Agency's continued success in assuring fair labor practices and workplace democracy nationwide.

The NLRB is an independent federal agency created in 1935 to administer and enforce the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the primary federal statute governing labor-management relations in the private sector. The NLRA protects the right of employees to choose for themselves, without interference by employers or unions, whether to form, join, assist, or collectively bargain through a labor organization, and to otherwise join together for their mutual aid or protection, or to refrain from all such activity. The NLRB enforces these statutory rights to remedy the known inequality of bargaining power between employees and their employers, to promote the full freedom of association of workers, and to strengthen the Nation’s economy by promoting the peaceful resolution of disputes that might otherwise cause disruptions to commerce.

Positions at the NLRB

The NLRB seeks dedicated professionals in a variety of disciplines to carry out its mission nationwide. Explore the information on the NLRB careers page to find out how you can be part of our team.

Attorneys

Attorneys at the NLRB are involved with investigating charges of unfair labor practices, resolving or litigating cases and conducting elections to determine union representation preference.

NLRB field examiners often provide the public its first exposure to the National Labor Relations Board. Working in our regional offices, field examiners administer and enforce the primary labor laws of the United States. Field examiners work directly with employees, unions, and employers who have filed charges alleging unfair labor practices.
