President Trump Nominates Marvin Kaplan to the NLRB

On or about June 20, 2017, President Trump nominated Marvin Kaplan, a Republican as a Member of the NLRB. Kaplan is currently an attorney with the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. If confirmed, the NLRB would be composed of two Democrats and two Republicans. President Trump is expected the fill the 5th seat with a Republican which would give the Republicans a majority vote-the first since 2007. A Washington Post article about this appointment is available here.

As students of labor law all know, NLRB law often changes when the composition of the Board changes. Presidential elections matter- and they really matter in labor law.
