Biographical History
After the first National Labor Relations Board was functionally abolished by the Supreme Court decision invalidating the National Industrial Recovery Act, May 27, 1935, a new National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was established as an independent agency by the National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act (NLRA) (49 Stat. 195), dated July 5, 1935. The Supreme Court in 1937 declared the Board constitutional and sustained Congress’s power to regulate employers whose operations affected interstate commerce, even though they were not directly engaged in commerce. The Wagner Act guaranteed the right of private sector workers to organize and bargain collectively with their employers and to participate in concerted activities to improve their pay and working conditions, with or without representatives advocating on their behalf. Employers and employees alike were protected from unfair labor practices and had an impartial forum in the National Labor Relations Board for the resolution of workplace disputes. Beyond the Board's Wagner Act powers, the War Labor Disputes Act of 1943 authorized the NLRB to intervene to settle wartime labor disputes which threatened to impede war production. The Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 (popularly known as the Taft-Hartley Act), as amended, defined additional practices forbidden to organized labor and limited the NLRB generally to judicial and policy-making functions.
The NLRB was originally composed of three members and a Chairman until 1947, when the Taft-Hartley Act reorganized the Board. It expanded the Board to five members with panels of three members to discharge its responsibilities. The Board’s old review section, the group of lawyers who drafted the decisions for all the members, was abolished also in 1947, due to management groups’ accusation of a pro-labor bias. Instead, the new law provided that each member would have a personal staff of attorneys to work on pending cases. The Board was precluded from engaging in economic analysis under this Act.
The 1959 Landrum-Griffin Act authorized the Board to delegate most of its authority to define bargaining units and to direct elections to its regional directors, subject to discretionary review. The State courts and state labor relations boards were given jurisdiction over cases declined by the Board under its jurisdictional standards. The Landrum-Griffin Act protected employees' union membership rights from unfair practices by unions, while the National Labor Relations Act protected employee rights from unfair practices by employers or unions.
Congress amended the Act in 1970 to place the U.S. Postal Service under the NLRB’s jurisdiction. The Postal Reorganization Act substituted an arbitration procedure for the right to strike guaranteed in Taft-Hartley. Congress widened the NLRB’s responsibilities again in 1974, giving the Agency jurisdictional authority over nonprofit hospitals and nursing homes. Nonprofit hospital workers were covered by the original Wagner Act in 1935, but were excluded in 1947 with the Taft-Hartley amendments. On its own discretion, the NLRB further expanded its jurisdiction to include major league baseball (1969), private, nonprofit colleges and universities (1970), foreign government-owned corporations doing business in the U.S. (1977), law firms (1977), and professional soccer (1978).
