NLRB AI policy status. #
The NLRB administers the National Labor Relations Act and adjudicates unfair labor practice charges and representation cases through its administrative law judges and the Board itself. Representative practice (by attorneys and union representatives) is governed by 29 CFR Part 102. As of May 2026, no published AI policy applies to representative AI use in NLRB proceedings.

Why NLRB matters. #
NLRB practice is moderate-volume and politically variable. Recent administrations have alternated direction on key labor-law questions, increasing the value of AI-assisted brief drafting and analytical work. Attorneys appearing before the NLRB must comply with their state bar rules; absent NLRB-specific AI guidance, ABA Op. 512 and state bar opinions are persuasive.
Practice implications. #
In the absence of NLRB-specific guidance, representatives should default to state-bar AI guidance and ABA Op. 512. Verification duty is universal. Watch for any guidance from the NLRB Office of the General Counsel; recent administrations have issued AI-related operational guidance for internal NLRB attorney work, which may presage published guidance for representative practice.
