Student Volunteer (Office of General Counsel - Headquarters)
Job Location
Washington, DC, United States
Job Description
These positions are part of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Student Volunteer Program under The General Counsel - Headquarters Program area. The purpose of these positions is to provide students the opportunity to learn about the NLRB, gain valuable on the job work experience by exposing them to the full-range of the Agency's legal practices, and if desired, earn credit towards their degree for their volunteer service.
The NLRB is an independent federal agency created in 1935 to administer and enforce the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the primary federal statute governing labor-management relations in the private sector. The NLRA protects the right of employees to choose for themselves, without interference by employers or unions, whether to form, join, assist, or collectively bargain through a labor organization, and to otherwise join together for their mutual aid or protection, or to refrain from all such activity. The NLRB enforces these statutory rights to remedy the known inequality of bargaining power between employees and their employers, to promote the full freedom of association of workers, and to strengthen the Nation's economy by promoting the peaceful resolution of disputes that might otherwise cause disruptions to commerce.
