The NLRB conducts hundreds of workplace elections and investigates thousands of unfair labor practice charges each year. Region 5 serves areas in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia from its Regional Office in Baltimore and its Resident Office in the District of Columbia.
