Concerns Regarding Impact Of

Employee Charges Against Employers

For Unfair Labor Practices




GAO reviewed certain cases involving employer
unfair labor practices and union election activities
and the National Labor Relations Board's case proc-
essing system. GAO found that

   --employers were charged slightly more often for
     discriminating against employees during union-
     organizing campaigns than after the union was
     recognized;

   --the impact on employees fired for participating
     in union activity varied but most had not been
     involved in union activities since being fired;

   --unions were more successful in campaigns in
     which no employee discrimination occurred;

   --the Board informally resolved about 90 percent
     of its cases within 40 days, but delays occurred
     in cases which had formal complaints issued;

   --the Board has been unable to hire enough admin-
     istrative law judges, who hear and decide unfair
     labor practice cases, to timely adjudicate cases;
     and


--administrative law judges' productivity varied
significantly and the Board has limited control
over them.
