In light of the ongoing staffing crisis in our regional offices, we can report that the NLRB will be conducting some limited hiring in the next few weeks. Attorney, investigative, and administrative positions will be posted across the country. Hiring windows will be very short.

We, the employees of the NLRB, are calling on members of Congress to reject the Senate’s proposed funding deal unless it includes meaningful reforms for ICE and CBP’s operations. Our Union has never endorsed a government shutdown before. But we believe we have no other choice.

The Senate held a hearing yesterday on the topic of Labor Law Reform. Some witnesses testified in favor of a bill that proposes to make first contracts easier to reach between unions and employers. But hovering over this hearing was the NLRB and its staffing and funding crises.

🚨🚨🚨 As the Senate leaves town in recess, the Senate’s Appropriations Committee approved a $5 million cut to the National Labor Relations Board’s budget. This comes less than a month after Senators, on a bipartisan basis, expressed their alarm over the ever-growing backlog of cases at the NLRB.

🚨🚨🚨 OMB THREATENS LAYOFFS AT THE NLRB According to Bloomberg, OMB has directed the NLRB to “think creatively” about how to reduce staff, despite President Trump’s appointed leaders of the agency agreeing that ANY job losses would devastate our ability to enforce federal law.

Good on these lawmakers for highlighting the disastrous consequences that cuts to the NLRB’s staffing would have on our country’s workers. With our agency already stretched so thin, DOGE must understand that we have nothing left to cut. @bobbyscott.house.gov @gregcasar.bsky.social

As reported last week, we can confirm that DOGE has entered the NLRB’s operations and detailed multiple employees to the Agency. We do not know yet what their intentions are. What we DO know is that the NLRB cannot afford to lose any more staff for the sake of “efficiency.”

It should go without saying, but this is comically inconsistent with the White House’s illegal return-to-work order that is being instituted on March 31, in violation of our Union’s contract with the Agency. Where exactly is DOGE proposing that Milwaukee agents work from?!

🚨🚨🚨 In another example of DOGE’s destructive and erratic form of “governing,” the NLRB told its employees today that agency credit cards are considered frozen for at least the next 30 days. This throws any NLRB election or trial that requires overnight travel into question.

A line item on DOGE's "Wall of Receipts" set off panic inside a federal agency this week. Either the NLRB is losing its regional office in Buffalo, or DOGE is claiming savings it isn't responsible for. Personally, I'd put my money on the latter. www.huffpost.com/entry/nlrb-o...

Here's 1 More Reason Why You Shouldn't Trust DOGE's 'Wall Of Receipts'

Are federal workers in Buffalo losing their office, or is Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" claiming savings it isn't responsible for?

🚨🚨🚨 Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.

NEW: in another late-night “fork” email to federal employees, OPM has apparently made what is their “last, best, and final” offer to convince our members to resign their employment. Folks, we didn’t think this was possible, but OPM found a way to make the offer *worse.* 🧵

For more than a decade, there has been a systematic effort to destroy the NLRB by starving it of staff and resources. Sensing blood in the water, those who wish to do wrong with impunity are now sounding the death knell and petitioning the courts to declare the Agency unconstitutional. 5-alarm fire.

We are deeply disappointed in the President’s proposal to increase the NLRB’s FY2025 budget by just $20 million. While we need all the funding we can get, this proposal does not come close to providing us with the resources we need to enforce federal labor law. Here’s why: 🧵

National Labor Relations Board Union @nlrbu.bsky.social · 15/11/2023

Tonight @RepScottPerry introduced an amendment to cut the NLRB’s budget by 67%. He said our agency’s employees have too many resources and too much free time. This is a bizarre statement. With exploding caseloads, we have never been busier. The NLRB needs more funding, not less.

Unless Congress overcomes its current budget impasse, government agencies like the NLRB will shut down after the September 30 funding deadline. Our members are not deemed “essential” workers, so the NLRB’s field staff will be furloughed indefinitely without pay.
