NLRB 1935-2010
The National Labor Relations Board is proud of its 75-year history of enforcing the National Labor Relations Act, the primary
law governing relations between employers and employees in the private sector. On July 5, 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt
signed the Act into law, stating that the law sought to achieve "common justice and economic advance." Starting in the
Great Depression and continuing through World War II and the economic growth and challenges that followed, the NLRB has worked
to
guarantee the rights of employees to bargain collectively, if they choose to do so.
