The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) - is an independent federal agency that protects the rights of employees to join together, with or without a union, to improve their wages and working conditions.

FACT - This five person board and a general counsel are appointed by the seated president.

FACT – Of the five seats, only three have been filled.

FACT - The current board only has Republican appointees for the first time in its 85-year history, the three Republicans are all white men—two lawyers who represented corporations before coming to the NLRB, and one former Republican congressional staffer.

FACT - There is no Democratic appointee to offer alternative views on workers’ rights, under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), or to issue dissenting opinions when the Trump board goes off track.

FACT - There are no women or people of color participating in these decisions, even though women and people of color make up the majority of workers.
