The NLRB public website is scheduled to undergo routine maintenance from Friday, November 21, 2025, at 11:00 PM ET (8:00 PM PT) until Monday, November 24, 2025, at 6:00 AM ET. From Friday night at 11:00 pm ET through Saturday morning at about 9:00 am ET, E-Filing will not be available. From Saturday through Monday morning, the E-Filing applications (E-Filing, Online Charge and Petition, and My Account Portal) may be periodically unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience.
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.

Keck Hospital of USC agrees to pay $87,939 to employees as a result of unlawful unilateral changes

On March 19, 2014, Keck Hospital of USC, formerly known as USC University Hospital (Employer), agreed to fully remedy the employees affected by its unilateral elimination of an extra shift bonus and a mandatory on-call schedule.
On September 17, 2012, the Board found that the Employer made unilateral changes without first bargaining with National Union of Healthcare Workers (Union), the employees’ bargaining representative.  The Board ordered the Employer to remedy its unfair labor practices by rescinding its unilateral changes, bargaining in good faith with the Union, posting a notice to employees, and making employees whole for any monetary losses suffered as a result of the unilateral changes.
Although the Employer promptly complied with most of the Board’s Order, it did not make employees whole for their lost earnings.  However, NLRB Region 16 Board Agents sought full compliance, and prevailed when the Employer agreed to pay all four employees for their lost earnings, which totaled $87,939.
