The National Labor Relations Board is an independent Federal agency created in 1935 to enforce the National Labor Relations Act.

The Weekly Summary of NLRB cases, as the name implies, is a publication that summarizes each week all published NLRB decisions in unfair labor practice and representation election cases, except for summary judgment cases.
