FOIA E-Library

The FOIA E-Library is a collection of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) materials that are frequently requested or are of broad general interest to the public. Subsection (a)(2) of the FOIA requires agencies to proactively make available to the public non-exempt information from certain categories of records without waiting for a specific request to be received. These categories are:

  • Final agency opinions and orders rendered in the adjudication of cases,
  • Specific policy statements that are not published in the Federal Register,
  • Administrative staff manuals and instructions to staff that affect a member of the public, and
  • Records that have become or are likely to become the subject of subsequent requests or those records that have been requested three or more times – commonly referred to as frequently requested records.

It is highly likely that information you seek is readily available on the NLRB web site. Before making a FOIA request, please visit the below links.

  • Final Agency Opinions and Orders
