Bloomberg BNA reports that 99.4 percent of the National Labor Relations Board’s employees (1,426 out of 1,435) are furloughed beginning January 22, 2018, according to the Board’s contingency plan.
If your organization has a case before the Board, expect to receive a communication from the Board Agent assigned to the case noting the Regional Office is closed and will reopen when an appropriations bill is passed by Congress and signed by the President.
The Board’s contingency plan can be found here.
The government shutdown also means other issues for employers. Please see our article, Implications of a Government Shutdown on Federal Contractors.
