The office of United States Senator Lamar Alexander, a republican from Tennessee, made a press release on April 9th stating that management-side labor attorney John Ring is expected to be confirmed this week as the newest member of the NLRB. If the Senate confirms Ring, it will give republicans a 3-to-2 majority on the board and likely begin a series of reversals of Obama-era labor board decisions. It will also be the first time since December that the board will be at it’s full membership, after previous Chairman Philip Miscimarra’s term expired.
