National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was established in 1935 to administer and interpret the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). It presides over questions of unfair labor practices and other matters relating to the application of the NLRA.Barring a few exceptions, the NLRB has authority only over private-sector employers and the U.S. Postal Service, but could probably assume jurisdiction over any employer substantially affecting interstate commerce.
