In a press release issued today, the National Labor Relations Board reported that its FOIA branch “responded within 20 working days to 82% of FOIA requests and 100% of FOIA appeals” in fiscal year 2020. The NLRB further reported that “FOIA backlogs were reduced from 35 requests at the end of FY 2019 to 3 requests at the end of FY 2020, which is a decrease of 91%.” Neither the agency nor DOJ has yet posted NLRB’s FY 2020 annual report.
