    Update: Beating the Backlog – NLRB Acting GC Issues Memo Changing Charge Processing Procedure to Address Case Backlog

    February 2, 2026 // According to the Board’s press release, the Charging Party has always been required to provide relevant information about an unfair labor practice charge after it has been filed. Historically, the Board initiated that process by having an assigned investigator reach out directly to the Charging Party typically via phone call or email exchange. Under the new protocol, however, the Charging Party must automatically provide the same information rather than wait for a request from an investigator. Regional Offices have been instructed to exercise flexibility and grant Charging Parties additional time when needed.
