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.

National Labor Relations Board Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon announced implementation of a pilot program consolidating Regional Offices effective May 1, 2012. The pilot program will consolidate Regional Offices in Atlanta, Georgia (Region 10) and Winston-Salem, North Carolina (Region 11). This program will also consolidate Regional Offices in St. Louis, Missouri (Region 14) and Kansas City, Kansas (Region 17). In addition, the sub-regional office in Peoria, Illinois will move from the jurisdiction of the St. Louis office to that of the regional office in Indianapolis, Indiana (Region 25).
No offices will be closed under this pilot program, but in each consolidation the two regions will report to a single Regional Director. Similarly, if the consolidation of offices is later made permanent, it is not contemplated that any office would be closed.
The pilot program will allow the agency to gather information and sort out questions that arise on internal management and case processing. Based on that experience, the Acting General Counsel could choose to present a formal proposal to the Board. Any permanent structural change would need to move through the federal rulemaking process.
The pilot program is part of an ongoing effort by the Agency to explore ways to restructure its field operation in light of new technologies and changing patterns in case intake. Further restructuring could be proposed in the future.
