BREAKING: Senate Confirms Macy and Prouty to NLRB

BREAKING: The U.S. Senate today confirmed James Macy and David Prouty to the National Labor Relations Board.


Macy, a Republican, will give the Board a 3-1 Republican majority once sworn in. Prouty, a Democrat and current Board member, was confirmed for a second term.


The confirmations also ensure the NLRB will maintain a working quorum when Prouty’s current term expires later this month, and allow the Republican majority to change Biden-era decisions, if they so choose.


More analysis to come.
