National Labor Relations Board acting general counsel Lafe Solomon gave his office high marks last week in an annual review of case-handling performance. In his Summary of Operations [PDF] for fiscal year 2012, Solomon called the work of staff in the Washington D.C. and regional offices “outstanding.”

Solomon noted that the agency met two out of three of its “overarching” goals, closing:

  • 72.7 percent of all unfair labor practice cases within 120 days (target: 72.0 percent).
  • 83.8 percent of all meritorious unfair labor practice cases within 365 days (target: 80.3 percent).
  • 84.5 percent of all representation cases within 100 days (target: 85.2 percent).
