National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)

National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Cases & Decisions
The NLRB administers the federal private sector collective bargaining statute, the National Labor Relations Act. Many NLRB decisions can be found online at the NLRB’s website.

Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service
As observed by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GOA) in 1980, the FMCS was created under the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act “to promote industrial peace and the nation’s economic welfare by resolving labor disputes through collective bargaining.”
See
GOA Statement, dated 10/30/80, located at
https://www.gao.gov/products/hrd-81-14
(last accessed 12/11/25).
To meet its statutory purpose, the FMCS has historically provided free- or low-cost mediation services, arbitrator selection and appointment services, and ADR and collective bargaining training to labor professionals in both private and public sectors, and to all levels of government.
At present, some or many of FMCS services may be curtailed, however, due to executive action(s) or budgetary issues.
