This site is one person's index of a public record. It holds nothing the Board has not already published, and every case on it links back to the Board's own page for that case. What follows is what is in it, what is not, and how to tell us we got something wrong.
The Labor Board FYI is an independent project at nlrb.fyi. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the National Labor Relations Board or any government agency, and it does not speak for the Board. The Board's own site is at nlrb.gov and is the authority on everything here. The domain uses the agency's initials because that is what people search for, which is exactly why the notice at the top of every page says what this is not.
The Board publishes a list of recent charges and petitions at nlrb.gov/reports/graphs-data/recent-filings. Every case row on this site was read off that list. The Board also offers the same list as a spreadsheet, and that is the route this site uses when the Board's index is answering.
How the first build was made. The Board's case index was down for maintenance from 18 to 21 September 2026. Its pages answered and returned nothing: "Displaying 1 - 20 of" with no number behind it, and every case page saying its docket data was not available. This site's first build was seeded from the Internet Archive's copies of the Board's own listing pages.
The index came back on 19 September and every row was read again from the Board directly, last on 19 September 2026. 4 rows are still archived copies: cases the archive held that the Board's export did not return. They are kept, dated, because an old copy of a real row is better than no row.
| How a row got here | Cases | Newest | Oldest |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Board's own spreadsheet export | 517,763 | 19 September 2026 | 19 September 2026 |
| Archived copies of the Board's pages | 4 | 10 July 2026 | 16 October 2020 |
The Board's own spreadsheet export. One request to the Board's download service returns the rows it would otherwise take thirty page fetches to read. This is the route the site uses whenever the Board's index is answering.
Archived copies of the Board's pages. The Internet Archive's captures of the same listing. Used to reach back further than the site has been fetching for itself, and used on its own while the Board's index was down. Each row carries the date its page was captured, so an old one shows as old.
The election pages come from a second report, the Board's Recent Election Results, through the same export. They hold twelve months of ballot counts. They say what each count was and never who won: the two fields in that export that look like an outcome contradict each other, so neither is used. Where a city is on the map comes from the Census Bureau's Gazetteer, because the Board's export gives a city and a state and nothing finer.
The pages about the agency come from a different place than the case rows, and they are current. The Board's ordinary content pages kept answering right through the maintenance window that emptied its case index, so its list of regional offices, its chart of Board composition since 1935, its list of members since 1935 and its list of General Counsels were all read directly from nlrb.gov on the day this was built.
One column on those pages is not the Board's. It records when a member's service began and never who appointed them, so the President in office at the time is worked out from the date, using the House of Representatives' own table of who held the office when. Every page that prints it says it is worked out rather than quoted.
The Board's composition chart had three rows below its own 1935 row describing 2024 and 2025, one of them claiming to run to the present while the top of the same table showed a different Board. They look like a block left behind when the chart was updated. This site leaves them out and says so on the seats page rather than deleting them quietly.
The Board's own listing printed its size at the head of every page. On 19 September 2026 it said 517,762 cases. This site holds 517,767: every row that listing returned. That is the whole of the Board's list. It is not the whole of what the Board has ever handled, because the list is thin before 2007 and very thin before 2000. The table below is the depth of it, year by year, and is a count of what this site holds and nothing more.

An absence here is an absence from the Board's list. It is not proof the Board never handled a case, and it is weakest for cases from before 2007. The Board's own case search is the place to check.
| Gap | Cases affected | Out of |
|---|---|---|
| No filing date on the row | 0 | 517,767 |
| No region on the row | 0 | 517,767 |
| No state on the row | 3 | 517,767 |
| Named party held back as an individual | 341 | 517,767 |
The Board's dockets sometimes name an individual person rather than a company or a union. This site does not publish those names, does not build a page for them, and does not put them in its search. The case is still shown, still counted, and still linked to the Board's own docket, where a reader can see whatever the Board itself chose to publish.
If a name here is a person, it comes off. The test that holds names back is a guess, and about 10,700 published names are two or three plain words that it cannot judge. Nearly all are businesses. If one is a private person, write to [email protected] with the case number and it is removed, along with every other case filed under the same spelling.
The reason is simple. An employer is an institution and a union is an institution. A person who filed a charge is neither, and a searchable page carrying their name next to their employer's is the kind of thing that follows somebody into a job interview years later. 341 of the 517,767 cases here are held back on that basis, by a test that errs towards holding back.
NLRB Research, NLRB Edge, Union Elections and Bloomberg Law all publish work built on the same record. None of their data is used here and none of them is ever cited as the source of anything on this site. They are worth reading, and they are linked from the explainers page for that reason.
Every count on this site is a count of what this site holds, and says so. There are no rates, no rankings and no scores, because the denominator here is the Internet Archive's sampling rather than the Board's record, and a rate over that would be a fact about our crawl dressed up as a fact about an employer.
Where this site disagrees with the Board, the Board is right. Write to [email protected] with the case number and what is wrong, and it will be fixed and the fix recorded.
A Python script fetches the Board's pages, politely and identifiably, and keeps every byte it receives. A second script reads those bytes into a small database. A third turns the database into these pages. Nothing is written by hand, and no page here is generated from anything but the record.
Last refreshed 19 September 2026. What is in it, and what is not.
The Labor Board FYI is independent, and is not the Board or any government agency. Where a number here disagrees with the Board's, the Board is right: tell us at [email protected]. If a name here is a private person and not a business or a union, write to the same address and it comes off. Where this comes from.
