Court: 2-Person Labor Board Can’t Make Decisions – ABC News:
More than 500 decisions by the leading federal agency that referees disputes between labor and management will have to be reopened after the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the five-member board had operated illegally when its membership dwindled to two.
The high court, in a 5-4 ruling in which the court’s leading liberal — retiring Justice John Paul Stevens — sided with the court’s four most conservative members, said the law does not allow the National Labor Relations Board to operate while it is short-staffed because of political arguments.
The NLRB is a sorry tragic JOKE! May as well get rid of them and save the taxpayers some money. While your at it, eliminate the OIG and Postal Inspectors as well. They ain’t worth a S%&T either!
The NLRB is at least partly responsible for the sorry state of the APWU.
