About The Picket Line

The Picket Line is a pro-union publication that makes it easy to look up an employer's labor record in one place: NLRB union filings, OSHA workplace safety inspections, and severe injury reports. Our hope is that easy access to information can support effective union organizing efforts. We plan to continue expanding the types of information available on the site.

What's on the site

NLRB filings — union representation petitions (RC cases), unfair labor practice charges (CA cases), and election results, sourced directly from nlrb.gov and updated regularly through automated collection.

OSHA inspections — workplace safety inspections, violations, and penalties, sourced from the U.S. Department of Labor and covering 2023 to present. Updated daily.

Severe injury reports — hospitalizations, amputations, and losses of an eye that employers are required to report to OSHA within 24 hours.

Labor news — a curated feed of significant US labor and union organizing stories, refreshed several times daily.

A word about the data and its limitations

Coverage is not guaranteed to be complete or current. Some filings may be missing, delayed, or incomplete — particularly for cases filed recently or outside the period covered by our historical imports. Union name and charging party information is available for a subset of cases and may not reflect the current status of a filing. Case outcomes, allegations, and other details may have changed since this data was collected. OSHA inspection and severe injury data is provided as-is from federal records and may contain reporting delays or corrections.

This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official publication of the National Labor Relations Board or the U.S. Department of Labor. Users should verify information directly at nlrb.gov and osha.gov before relying on it for legal, organizational, or research purposes. Although we endeavor to provide complete, accurate and timely data, The Picket Line cannot guarantee the data will be complete or error free.
