The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday said an appointment President Barack Obama made to the National Labor Relations Board was invalid, becoming the second circuit to question the validity of the labor board’s decisions.
Another Court Decision Finds “Recess” Appointments Illegal WASHINGTON, D.C. // MAY 16, 2013 // Today, the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace praised the Third Circuit US Court of Appeals’ decision declaring illegal National Labor Relations Board recess appointments made by President Obama.

If Sen. Lamar Alexander (R., Tenn.) is a measure of his party, President Barack Obama could have trouble winning Senate confirmation of two labor board members he had installed last year using controversial recess appointments.
Today, the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace lauded the US District Court of Appeals for Washington, DC, which invalidated an illegal National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rule requiring nearly 6 million businesses to post notices that amounted to little more than advertisements for union membership.
600-Member Coalition Thanks Representatives for NLRB Efforts WASHINGTON, DC // APRIL 11, 2013 // Today, the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW) lauded the House of Representatives passage of H.R. 1120, the Preventing Greater Uncertainty in Labor-Management Relations Act.

I introduced H.R. 1120, the Preventing Greater Uncertainty in Labor-Management Relations Act. This bill is simple. It would require the Board to cease all activity until the legal issues surrounding the legitimacy of the so-called recess appointments are resolved. The legislation would also require a Senate-confirmed quorum (3 members) to review all the decisions the Board made while the appointments were in question. The House is scheduled to vote on this legislation later this week, and I hope this bill will help achieve the certainty workers deserve.

Since winning the election in 2008 and taking the oath of office, President Obama has preoccupied himself with rewarding his friends in Big Labor as opposed to concerning himself with sending a message to job creators that they have an ally in Washington, D.C. The best example of this is a little known agency named the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
The administration has dug in, and Mr. Obama stands by the [NLRB] appointments, fraudulent as they may be. It’s up to the Supreme Court to quickly drive a stake through the head of the zombie board, which it can do merely by refusing to take the appeal.
