New data shows that union filings rose dramatically over the past year, hitting a six-year high.
The NLRB reported that unfair labor practice filings, or accusations of illegal labor conduct, were also up in the most recent fiscal year. Such charges increased by 19 percent in Fiscal Year 2022, with nearly 18,000 charges filed.
In all, the NLRB noted that total case intake, including union petitions and unfair labor practice filings, increased by 23 percent in Fiscal Year 2022 — the largest single-year percentage increase since Fiscal Year 1959. The NLRB has received the same budget of $274 million for nine years. With inflation, that means that the agency has actually received a 25 percent budget cut since Fiscal Year 2014, it noted. This has led to a corresponding loss of 39 percent of staffing at the agency and 50 percent of its field office staff.
