- In 2005, 50% of the decisions issued by the NLRB in unfair labor
practice cases took more than 1,232 days from the filing of the charge
to Board decision. The Board decision can be appealed to the federal
courts, which typically adds another year before implementation of a
remedy. It often takes years before a worker is finally ordered
reinstated and awarded back pay.
