This series consists of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Regional Offices and Washington Office formal and informal case files for unfair labor practice cases that were disposed of by formal action of the Board and closed between 1978 and 1984. Case files vary in contents, but typically include correspondence, legal documents, notices, hearing transcripts, transcripts, reports, judgments, pleadings, affidavits, motions, and exhibits. Some of the cases have non-textual exhibits such as photographs, motion pictures, and samples of commercial products manufactured by the employers involved in the case.
These unfair labor practice cases are designated by the NLRB as "C" cases and relate to the processing of charges of unfair labor practices under one or more subsections of Section 8 of the National Labor Relations Act. Subcategories of C cases included in this series are CA, CB, CC, CE, CG, and CP cases. CA cases relate to charges that an employer had committed unfair labor practices in violation of section 8(a)(1), (2), (3), (4), or (5), or any combination thereof. CB cases relate to charges that a labor organization had committed unfair labor practices in violation of section 8(b)(1), (2), (3), (5), or (6), or any combination thereof. CC cases related to charges that a labor organization had committed unfair labor practices in violation of section 8(b)(4)(1) and/or (A), (B), or (C), or any combination thereof. CE cases relate to charges that either a labor organization or an employer, or both jointly, had committed an unfair labor practice in violation of section 8(e). CG cases relate to charges labor organization has committed unfair labor practices in violation of section 8(g). CP cases relate to charges that that a labor organization had committed unfair labor practices in violation of section 8(b)(7)(A), (B), or (C), or any combination thereof.
The case files in this series were individually selected by the NLRB for permanent retention because the NLRB judged them to illustrate significant developments in the administration of the National Labor Relations Act or otherwise represent the most important cases considered by the Board in a given year. The majority of unfair labor practice case files created by the NLRB were not retained as permanent.
