Things to Note

When e-filing documents with the Board, the party must send the document to Efile@ALRB.ca.gov and follow the instructions below.

If you are an agricultural worker, bargaining representative or company who wants to file a new unfair labor practice charge or allegation, please do not use the ALRB e-filing system. New unfair labor practice charges should instead be filed with one of the ALRB’s Regional Offices. Election petition documents should also be filed directly with a Regional Office. You can find the address and telephone numbers for the Regional Offices on our Contacts page or call 1-800-449-3699.
