National Labor Relations Board Reform Act
The National Labor Relations Board Reform Act increases the NLRB's membership from 5 to 6 members, requiring 3 members to represent each of the two major political parties and establishing staggered terms for appointments starting in 2028. It changes the required Board majority for decisions from 3 to 4 members and adds a 30-day window for employers or employees to seek federal court review of General Counsel complaints if they lack substantial evidence. The bill also mandates that the NLRB issue final orders within one year of a case filing or the case is automatically discharged, becoming final without further action. These changes directly affect NLRB operations, employers, and employees involved in labor disputes under the National Labor Relations Act.
