Region 13’s office will be closed for in-person services from Monday, August 19 to Friday, August 23, 2024. We will also be unable to receive in-person deliveries during this time. For more information or to speak with an information officer, please call (312) 353-7570.  

Members of the public and parties to pending cases may fax documents to the Chicago office at (312) 886-1341. Members of the public who wish to file new unfair labor practice charges or representation petitions, or who are submitting documents in open cases, are strongly encouraged to use the Agency’s e-filing system. Instructions for using the e-filing system and other general information about the NLRB may be found on the Agency’s website at nlrb.gov.

Established in 1935, the National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency that protects employees, employers, and unions from unfair labor practices and protects the right of private sector employees to join together, with or without a union, to improve wages, benefits and working conditions. The NLRB conducts hundreds of workplace elections and investigates thousands of unfair labor practice charges each year. Region 13 serves areas in Illinois and Indiana from its Regional Office in Chicago.
