On July 18, 2014, the National Labor Relations Board
(“NLRB”) ratified all administrative, personnel, and procurement actions approved
and/or taken by the Board between January 4, 2012 and August 5, 2013. This ratification follows the U.S. Supreme
Court’s decision in NLRB v. Noel Canning that invalidated NLRB actions
during that time period because President Obama impermissibly appointed Board
members in January 2012.
The NLRB’s meeting
minutes show that all five Board members unanimously approved the
ratification. For more information on
the effects of the NLRB’s decision, feel free to contact Connell Foley’s labor
and employment law attorneys.
