Answer 1

The primary functions of the NLRB are (1) to decide, when petitioned by employees, if an appropriate bargaining unit of employees exists for collective bargaining; (2) to determine by secret-ballot elections (conducted by the NLRB) whether the employees in a business or industry wish to be represented by labour unions; and (3) to prevent or correct unfair labour practices by employers and unions.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent agency of the United States federal government that looks for protecting employees' rights, forming unions when necessary. The NLRB also helps employees in the election of the union's representative to make sure the majority of the workers' decisions are being respected.
