The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent federal agency created in 1935 to administer and enforce the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the primary statute governing labor-management relations in the private sector. The NLRA protects employees' rights to form, join, assist, or bargain through a labor organization, and to refrain from such activity. The NLRB enforces these rights to address bargaining power imbalances, promote freedom of association, and support the peaceful resolution of disputes that could impact commerce. The agency is located in the United States and employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people. In April 2026, James Macy was named President of the NLRB, reflecting leadership changes described in recent news.
