Background:
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is a federal agency responsible for enforcing the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which protects the rights of workers to form and join unions. The NLRB has been in a state of crisis since the Trump administration, with many of its top officials being appointed without Senate confirmation.
In January 2023, the NLRB union, which represents over 1,000 workers, went on strike to demand better wages, benefits, and working conditions. The strike has been ongoing for over two weeks, with no end in sight.
Demands:
The NLRBU has made several demands, including:
- A 15% pay increase for all NLRB employees
- Improved health insurance benefits
- A reduction in the number of hours worked by NLRB employees
- An end to the use of temporary workers and contractors
- Improved working conditions and a reduction in workload
Impact:
The strike has had a significant impact on the NLRB's operations, with many cases being delayed or put on hold. The strike has also had an impact on the broader labor movement, with many unions and workers showing support for the striking NLRB employees.
