Repping the NLRB’s rank-and-file since 1936.

Media Inquiries — exec@nlrbu.net
The Senate held a hearing yesterday on the topic of Labor Law Reform. Some witnesses testified in favor of a bill that proposes to make first contracts easier to reach between unions and employers.

But hovering over this hearing was the NLRB and its staffing and funding crises.

As the Senate leaves town in recess, the Senate’s Appropriations Committee approved a $5 million cut to the National Labor Relations Board’s budget.

This comes less than a month after Senators, on a bipartisan basis, expressed their alarm over the ever-growing backlog of cases at the NLRB.

Members of our Manhattan, Newark, and Brooklyn locals are distributing flyers today at NYU’s Conference on Labor & Employment Law, where Acting General Counsel Cowen is speaking on “The Future of the NLRA.”

The future of labor law is our Agency and our members. Save the NLRB.

OMB THREATENS LAYOFFS AT THE NLRB

According to Bloomberg, OMB has directed the NLRB to “think creatively” about how to reduce staff, despite President Trump’s appointed leaders of the agency agreeing that ANY job losses would devastate our ability to enforce federal law.

Good on these lawmakers for highlighting the disastrous consequences that cuts to the NLRB’s staffing would have on our country’s workers.

With our agency already stretched so thin, DOGE must understand that we have nothing left to cut.

As reported last week, we can confirm that DOGE has entered the NLRB’s operations and detailed multiple employees to the Agency. We do not know yet what their intentions are.

What we DO know is that the NLRB cannot afford to lose any more staff for the sake of “efficiency.”

It should go without saying, but this is comically inconsistent with the White House’s illegal return-to-work order that is being instituted on March 31, in violation of our Union’s contract with the Agency. Where exactly is DOGE proposing that Milwaukee agents work from?!

Yesterday, the NLRBU learned that DOGE has unilaterally cancelled the Milwaukee office’s lease a year early, without notice. The lease will now expire in August 2025.

DOGE has not provided the NLRB with any alternative for Milwaukee agents to perform their work.

In another example of DOGE’s destructive and erratic form of “governing,” the NLRB told its employees today that agency credit cards are considered frozen for at least the next 30 days.

This throws any NLRB election or trial that requires overnight travel into question.

Today, two major threats to the NLRB were issued.

First, the Agency’s leadership instructed all employees that they are unlawfully forcing employees to return to the office full-time by March 31.

Second, OPM told all agencies to begin Reduction-in-Force (RIF) plans.

A line item on DOGE's "Wall of Receipts" set off panic inside a federal agency this week.

Either the NLRB is losing its regional office in Buffalo, or DOGE is claiming savings it isn't responsible for.

Personally, I'd put my money on the latter.

Here's 1 More Reason Why You Shouldn't Trust DOGE's 'Wall Of Receipts'
Are federal workers in Buffalo losing their office, or is Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" claiming savings it isn't responsible for?

UPDATE:

As of now, the NLRB is NOT being evicted from its Buffalo office. Region 3 was already moving to a smaller office this fall, and DOGE apparently claimed credit for this impending move by falsely labeling it as “savings.”

@jamieson has the story:

Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.

Today, February 19, 2025, is the Save Our Services day of action for federal employees and their unions.

We are coming together to say ‘NO’ to Elon Musk's push to gut federal services and impose unlawful mass layoffs of hard-working civil servants across the federal government.

NEW: in another late-night “fork” email to federal employees, OPM has apparently made what is their “last, best, and final” offer to convince our members to resign their employment.

Folks, we didn’t think this was possible, but OPM found a way to make the offer *worse.* 🧵

Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵
