National Labor Relations Board

About the agency
The National Labor Relations Board is an independent agency that enforces US labor law in relation to collective bargaining and unfair labor practices.

Records available
Notably, requesters can seek materials associated with proceedings held before the National Labor Relations Board. Administrative Law Judges oversee these proceedings and you may acquire their official reports, an example of which is when nonprofit organization Property of the People received the transcripts, exhibitions, and other reports generated from the NLRB case in which one of Donald Trump's hotels appeared before the Board.
