The NLRB reopened from shutdown status on November 13, 2025. Due dates to file or serve most documents were tolled during the period of the shutdown, although due dates cannot be tolled for filing and service of unfair labor practice charges, applications for awards of fees and other expenses under the Equal Access to Justice Act, and certain representation petitions. For documents where tolling applies, the terms are that for each day on which the Agency’s offices were closed for all or any portion of the day, one day is added to the time for filing or service of the document. If the new due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the new due date will be moved to the next business day. For example, if the original due date was October 7, 2025 and the shutdown lasted 43 days, the revised due date is November 19, 2025. See chart for revised due dates.

National Labor Relations Board Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce and Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon have announced the appointment of Jane North as Officer in Charge of the Agency's newly-designated Subregional office in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (Subregion 11). In her new position, Ms. North will assist Claude Harrell, Director of the NLRB’s Region 10 in Atlanta, in enforcing the National Labor Relations Act in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, and in certain counties in Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.  Ms. North is Subregion 11’s initial Officer in Charge upon its formal restructuring with the Atlanta office, which became effective today.

A native of Lynchburg, Virginia, Ms. North received her B.A. degree from Eckerd College and her J.D. degree, magna cum laude, from the University of Tennessee.  She served as a law clerk for the Honorable Gilbert S. Merritt in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, after which she was in private practice in Nashville, Tennessee for three years.  She began her NLRB career as a field attorney in the Winston-Salem office in 1988.  She was promoted to Supervisory Field Attorney in 2000; Deputy Regional Attorney in 2002; Regional Attorney in 2009; and Deputy Regional Director in 2009.

The NLRB investigates and remedies unfair labor practices and conducts secret-ballot elections to determine whether employees desire union representation.
