This is a revised edition of a pamphlet originally issued in 1962. It provides a basic framework for
a better understanding
of the National Labor Relations Act and its administration.
A special chart that arranges systematically the types of cases in which an employer or a
labor organization may be
involved under the Act, including both unfair labor practice cases and representation election proceedings,
appears in the
booklet.
