Labor Boards

Labor boards are government agencies or independent bodies that oversee and enforce labor laws and regulations related to workers' rights and employer responsibilities. They handle disputes between employees and employers, such as unfair labor practices, union elections, and collective bargaining issues. Labor boards aim to protect workers' rights to organize, negotiate, and work in safe conditions. By mediating conflicts and ensuring compliance with labor laws, they help maintain fair labor practices and support economic stability. Examples include the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in the United States and various equivalent organizations worldwide.
