NLRB = N + L + R + B
NLRB is an initialism whose component letters do not convey the meaning to learners; the abbreviation must be learned as a whole.
Etymology
The word NLRB is short for National Labor Relations Board, with national meaning 'country', labor meaning 'work', relations meaning 'connections', and board meaning 'a group of people who make decisions'. So, the NLRB is the national group that handles work relations and settles disputes between employers and unions.
