On the same day that President Obama renominated two members of the National Labor Relations Board, members of the House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions in a hearing this morning disagreed sharply over the validity of the board’s actions and its future mandate.
"The power of the board affects almost every private workplace," said subcommittee chairman David Roe (R-Tenn.)power that is now called into question after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit last month ruled that the recess appointments of three board members were unconstitutional. If upheld, the courts decision in Noel Canning v. NLRB leaves the board without a quorum.
