The number of unfair labor practice charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board increased for the fourth consecutive year in fiscal year 2024, NLRB enforcement data show.
The 21,300 ULP charges filed from October 1, 2023—September 30, 2024, are the highest number filed since FY 2016.
The Board made 259 final administrative determinations in FY 2024, up from 246 the year before. The number of NLRB cases decided by the U.S. Courts of Appeals more than doubled from 22 to 51 (a gain of 132%), while the percentage of Board decisions that federal appellate courts fully enforced dropped from 86% to 69%. Another 20% of such appeals were remanded in full to the Board.
To put these data in perspective, the Center for Workplace Compliance, our affiliated nonprofit membership association, prepared a chart displaying comparative NLRB enforcement statistics for the 10-year period from FY 2015—FY 2024.
