Applicants for a Peggy Browning Fund summer internship with the NLRB's Regional Office will need to have completed the basic labor law course offered at their law school and have general knowledge of the National Labor Relations Act. The Fund intern will be assigned to a supervisor or manager in the Regional Office and will spend approximately two weeks observing the professional staff, field attorneys or field examiners performing their case handling responsibilities. These case handling activities include contacting parties who have filed unfair labor practice charges, taking witness affidavits in the Regional Office, contacting charged parties and making field visits during unfair labor investigations. As soon as practicable, the intern will be assigned to perform these duties. Additionally, the Peggy Browning Fund Intern will attend "regional agenda committees" and may have an opportunity to draft agenda minutes, draft dismissal letters and unfair labor practice complaints, assist in research projects, attend unfair labor practice trials and settlement conferences. With respect to representation cases, the intern will attend election agreement negotiation sessions, pre-election representation hearings as well as help run elections and participate in post-election challenged ballot objections proceedings. Due to summer vacation schedules, there are more opportunities to perform case handling duties for summer interns than during the regular school year. The summer intern's work will be professionally reviewed and oversight support provided. Students interested in applying to the National Labor Relations Board Region Twenty-One for a Peggy Browning Fund internship should submit an application package to:
