The optimization version of the Unique Label Cover problem is at the heart of
the Unique Games Conjecture which has played an important role in the proof of
several tight inapproximability results. In recent years, this problem has been
also studied extensively from the point of view of parameterized complexity.
Cygan et al. [FOCS 2012] proved that this problem is fixed-parameter tractable
(FPT) and Wahlstr\"om [SODA 2014] gave an FPT algorithm with an improved
parameter dependence. Subsequently, Iwata, Wahlstr\"om and Yoshida [2014]
proved that the edge version of Unique Label Cover can be solved in linear
FPT-time. That is, there is an FPT algorithm whose dependence on the input-size
is linear. However, such an algorithm for the node version of the problem was
left as an open problem. In this paper, we resolve this question by presenting
the first linear-time FPT algorithm for Node Unique Label Cover
