Established in 1935, the National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency that protects employees, employers, and unions from unfair labor practices and protects the right of private sector employees to join together, with or without a union, to improve wages, benefits and working conditions. The NLRB conducts hundreds of workplace elections and investigates thousands of unfair labor practice charges each year. Region 12 serves areas in Florida, Georgia, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands from its Regional Office in Tampa, its Subregional Office in San Juan, and its Resident Office in Miami.
