No Duty To Bargain Over Discipline During Contract Hiatus, NLRB Division of Advice

The NLRB has been active but quiet during the last few months as the agency quietly reaffirms decisions nullified by the Supreme Court.  By all accounts, however, and as history has proved, the NLRB is getting ready to issue an onslaught of law-changing decisions as we head into the holiday season.  This onslaught of change … Continue Reading

Supreme Court Invalidates Recess Appointments To NLRB: Several Labor Board Decisions Now In Doubt

In a rare 9-0 decision issued today, the United States Supreme Court invalidated the recess appointments President Obama made to the NLRB on January 4, 2012, while the Senate was in a three day recess.  The decision in National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning (USSC June 26, 2014) means that the NLRB was operating without the requisite … Continue Reading

Noel Canning Oral Argument: Justices Express Skepticism

My experience is that oral arguments, while often interesting, rarely open much of a window into exactly how a court will actually decide the case.  Today’s Supreme Court argument in NLRB v. Noel Canning may be an exception.  Nearly all of the Justices had questions which suggested skepticism over the validity of the President’s January 4, … Continue Reading

Despite Supreme Court’s Grant of Review in Two Important Labor Cases, the Action in the Short Term is in the DC Circuit

It came as no surprise to most labor practitioners this week that the Supreme Court granted certiorari to review the U.S Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit’s decision in NLRB v. Noel Canning, No. 12-1281.  That case, of course, involves the validity of the President’s recess appointments of three NLRB members in January, 2012 and, … Continue Reading

As noted here earlier, the government announced its intention to seek Supreme Court review of the DC Circuit decision which held that the President’s recess appointments to the NLRB were unconstitutional.  The 138 page document NLRB v. Noel Canning, A Div. of Noel Corp., Cert Petition (April 24, 2013) was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday. … Continue Reading

Ambush Election Rules Fall Into Noel Canning Abyss As Court Puts Hold On Decision

The fallout from Noel Canning has been felt far and wide.  The DC Circuit Court’s January 25, 2013 decision certainly put all NLRB decisions made since January 4, 2012 (the date Members Block and Griffin received their recess appointments) in jeopardy.  All cases on appeal to the DC Circuit involving panels which included Block and Griffin have … Continue Reading

Court Rules Recess Appointments To NLRB Unconstitutional, More Uncertainty To Follow

As we noted last month, the federal court of appeals in DC heard the first case on the constitutionality of the recess appointments to the NLRB.  Today, a three judge panel ruled unanimously that the appointments of Members Griffin, Block and Flynn were unconstitutional, meaning this court decided the NLRB has lacked a quorum since at … Continue Reading
