The National Labor Relations Board

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was created by Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. The purpose and function of the NLRB is to mediate relationships between employers and employees. Operating as an independent federal agency, the NLRB is designed to protect the rights of employees and employers, as well as prohibiting certain behaviors.
