TakeawaysJames Macy and David Prouty were confirmed to the National Labor Relations Board, bringing the Board to four members and establishing a 3-1 Republican majority.
Three Republican members clears an important hurdle to reconsidering significant Biden-era Board precedents.
Prouty, whose current term expires August 27, was confirmed to a second term as the Board’s sole Democratic member.
