WASHINGTON \u2014 Rep. Donald Norcross of New Jersey urged <\/a>Congress to boost funding for the National Labor Relations Board and avoid furloughs of agency workers after almost a decade of stagnant budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Democratic congressman escalated a request he and more than 140 representatives made in April to increase funding for the NLRB, the federal agency tasked with investigating violations of workplace law. The agency has said that without a substantial increase in funding from Congress, it may have to start letting go of staff despite increasing workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe funding situation at the NLRB is dire,\u201d Norcross said in a Nov. 29 letter<\/a> addressed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer<\/a>. \u201cSimply put, the status quo of NLRB funding is untenable. Continuing to underfund the NLRB not only puts workers\u2019 rights at risk but also subjects employers to costly uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its own letter to members of the House and Senate<\/a> appropriations committees, the NLRB said it has received the same appropriation of $274 million for nine straight years. When adjusted for inflation, the budget has actually shrunk by a quarter since 2014, it said. At the same time, expenses have arisen for pay increases and field office relocations while the agency\u2019s staff of 1,200 has dwindled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to inadequate funding, overall staffing levels have dropped by 39% over the past two decades and field staffing has been cut in half, according to Norcross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur field staff has done a tremendous job handling a historic surge in union election petitions and unfair labor practice charges, but this situation is unsustainable,\u201d said NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total case intake in field offices increased 23%<\/a> in 2022 from the year before. That\u2019s the largest single-year increase since 1976 and the largest percentage increase since 1959, according to the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the letter to Congress, leaders said that while the pinch of rising costs are being felt across government, the NLRB cannot absorb increases as well as other agencies because it did not receive an appropriations boost in the 2022 omnibus bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt this point, the agency has exhausted its ability to absorb cost increases through staff attrition and operational efficiencies,\u201d according to the letter signed by Abruzzo and Chair Lauren McFerran. \u201cLabor costs already comprise 80% of the NLRB\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency implemented a hiring freeze and will likely have to consider furloughs if funding doesn\u2019t materialize in final budget negotiations by Dec. 16, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s at this really crucial point in time right now when we\u2019re seeing the most labor activity that we\u2019ve seen in decades across the country,\u201d a spokesperson for the agency told Federal Times. \u201cWe\u2019re completely starved for resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longer processing times aggravated by inadequate staffing levels can delay relief for injured parties, increase the amount a charged party owes in monetary damages, and keep potentially meritless allegations alive until they can be investigated fully, the agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norcross recommended leaders <\/a>of the House Appropriations Committee before to commit at least $368 million to the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith this skyrocketing workload, the NLRB is now responsible for far more workers than a decade ago yet has been denied the funding to meet these statutory requirements,\u201d Norcross said in a separate letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee salaries driving up costs<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 budget request<\/a> sets out nearly $320 million for the NLRB, an increase of 16%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest anticipated expenses is employee salaries. The agency expects to pay the 4.6% pay increase for employees declared by President Joe Biden<\/a> in August. That will increase the NLRB\u2019s total labor costs by $10.2 million this fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, inflation has continued to deflate budgets, making a strong case for increased funding government-wide. The NLRB predicts that without operational changes and assuming 8.5% inflation, <\/a>it will assume nearly $5 million in non-labor costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency is relocating three field offices this fiscal year at a cost of nearly $4 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telework agreements impact workforce<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The National Labor Relations Board Union, representing 700 attorneys, investigators and administrative professionals at field offices of the NLRB, has said that on top of current pressures at the agency, increasingly limited telework opportunities are aggravating the staffing crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The union said its telework agreement that established five days of telework per pay period expires Dec. 23. Field employees will then be permitted three days of telework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have heard from longtime NLRB employees who will be taking jobs in the private sector or at other government agencies which are offering more flexible telework schedules,\u201d the union said in a tweet<\/a>. \u201cWe are also aware of applicants who turned down NLRB job offers for employers who offer more telework.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are committed to working with the NLRBU to reach a new collective bargaining agreement that increases telework for NLRB employees beyond what is provided under our current Memorandum of Understanding and ensures that we can effectively do the important work of protecting workers\u2019 rights in this country,\u201d said Abruzzo in a statement emailed to Federal Times. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
