Chief FOIA Officer Report

The Attorney General’s FOIA Guidelines require the Chief FOIA Officer to submit a report to the Attorney General containing a detailed description of the steps taken by the agency to improve FOIA compliance and transparency. These reports contain details of FOIA administration at NLRB and the steps taken by the NLRB to implement the Attorney General's FOIA Guidelines during each reporting year.

Board Member Recusal Lists

Board member recusal lists have historically been utilized by the Agency to ensure that Board members are screened from cases from which they must be recused.  Recusal issues are carefully reviewed and identified to ensure confidence in the impartiality and fairness of Agency proceedings.  Board member recusal lists are maintained and updated by the Agency’s Ethics Office in consultation with the Office of the Executive Secretary, Board member, and/or their offices.

What is E-Service?

"E-Service" is the electronic service of Board and ALJ decisions and orders on parties. Parties who register for E-Service will receive, immediately upon posting of the Board's daily E-Docket on its website, an e-mail constituting formal notice of the Board's or Judge's decision and an electronic link to the decision. E-Service notifications will be sent at the close of the business day from NLRB headquarters in Washington, D.C. (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Board and ALJ decisions will not be mailed to parties who sign up for E-Service.

Representation Petitions - RC

Employees or a union may file a petition for a representation election (RC) after collecting signatures from at least 30% of workers in the potential bargaining unit. Petitions that are not withdrawn or dismissed result in an NLRB-conducted election. A majority of votes decides the outcome. Please note: Some petitions filed in a given year may not have an election until a subsequent year. Thus, the number of petitions may not equal the total number of dispositions in a given year.
