Speech Files

1934-1974

https://catalog.archives.gov/id/7358319

This series consists of speeches delivered by National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) chairmen, members of the NLRB, the general counsel, and the assistant general counsel to various businesses, trade associations, or professional organizations, as well as to congressional committees. The speeches contain information on policies and programs, case processing procedures and other major NLRB activities, especially concerning the enforcement, interpretation, and implementation of the Wagner Act of 1935, and the Labor Management Relations Act (also known as the Taft-Hartley Act) of 1947. Most of these speeches were issued as news releases and numbered (hence the "R" designator), but some are not numbered. Prior to the establishment of the Division of Information around 1939, these records were created and maintained by the first and second National Labor Relations Boards.
