NLRB Forms
NLRB Fill-in Forms Index and Technical Instructions
To download these NLRB forms you will need to use ADOBE READER Acrobat 3.0 (or newer version), which you can install for free by clicking on the yellow button below. To fill in the form, select the hand tool on the Adobe toolbar and click inside a box on the form. An "I" beam will appear to allow you to type your information. Press tab or click in other boxes to get to different areas of the form. Use the + magnifying glass to increase type size for easier reading. Click outside of the form field before printing because a field will not print if it still contains a blinking "I" beam. For best results at printing, be sure to use the printer button on the Adobe toolbar to print instead of the one on your browser. When you click on any of these forms, you first will find instructions on how to fill out and file the form, followed by the form itself.
