The labor board isn't actually part of the government, and it's decisions aren't binding. It's decisions are routinely overturned by later lawsuits. The mere fact that the board made a ruling hardly solves any ambiguity.
- butlerm 5y agoThe National Labor Relations Board is a federal agency created by an act of Congress. No, they are not the Supreme Court. The acts of every federal agency are subject to judicial appeal. Generally speaking, you cannot file suit in federal court against the government until all administrative appeals are exhausted. Congress created the NLRB to administer federal law in this area and they are the only avenue available, barring some state law perhaps.
- Manuel_D 5y agoThere's a process in the justice system called mediation. Basically, it's a session where the plaintiff and defendant get together and have a discussion about how to resolve the conflict. It cannot, however, make binding judgements. Only a real court can do that. If the two parties disagree then it proceeds to a lawsuit. The NRLB processes mediation for labor disputes. Its decisions aren't binding, and it's common to proceed to a lawsuit or arbitration even after the NRLB rejects someone complaint.
