What Happens If There?s No NLRB

CWA filed 175 charges at the NLRB in our most recent bargaining with major employers. Overall, workers file about 4,500 charges a year. Here's what we lose if we lose the NLRB. We'd have no way to:

  • Force employers to bargain as the National Labor Relations Act requires. For too many workers, contract negotiations already drag on far too long.
  • Resolve disputes when an employer unilaterally changes a collective bargaining agreement or disregards a contract provision.
  • Force employers to provide critical information during bargaining.
  • Resolve charges of discrimination based on a worker's union activity or other protected activity like discussing working conditions with co-workers.
  • Resolve workers' charges of employer retaliation for union and other protected activity.
