National Labor Relations Act - Enforcement

Enforcement

The National Labor Relations Board has two basic functions: overseeing the process by which employees decide whether to be represented by a labor organization and prosecuting violations. Those processes are initiated in the regional offices of the NLRB.

The National Labor Relations Act is enforced by the National Labor Relations Board and the General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board.
