This Compendium covers a range of labor-management relations topics in-cluding, among others the National Labor Relations Act, the Railway Labor Act, the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, the Employee Free Choice Act, the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), an independent federal agen-cy, specifically oversees labor-management relations involving most pri-vate sector employees through administration and enforcement of the Na-tional Labor Relations Act (NLRA). (The National Mediation Board, also an independent agency, administers and enforces the Railway Labor Act. It governs labor-management relations in the airline and railroad industries.) According to the NLRB, Congress passed the NLRA in 1935 “to protect the rights of employees and employers, to encourage collective bargaining, and to curtail certain private sector labor and management practices, which can harm the general welfare of workers, businesses and the U.S. econo-my.”
