We conduct elections, investigate charges of unfair labor practices, and protect the rights of workers to act together from our main office in St. Louis, MO, our sub-regional office in Overland Park, KS, and our resident office in Tulsa, OK. If you have questions or wish to file a charge or petition for an election, please call or visit one of our offices and ask for the Information Officer on duty.
