NLRB Vacancies: The Potential For Big Changes in Labor Union Law
2/1/09: The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) consist of 5 members, and the NLRB board issues important decisions on a broad range of union issues.
There are currently only 2 members, so there are 3 vacancies. Wilma Liebman is considered liberal and pro-union. Peter Carey Schaumber is considered conservative and pro-management.
President Obama will be able to fill the 3 vacancies, with a likely significant shift in labor law in the United States.
