Employment Law Report
Lauren McFerran Confirmed to NLRB by U.S. Senate
By Edwin S. Hopson
On December 8, 2014, the U.S. Senate voted 54 to 40 to confirm Ms. Lauren McFerran, a Democrat, to be a Member of the National Labor Relations Board. This keeps in place the Democrats’ majority on the Board – three Members to two Republican Members. Thus, the pro-union agenda of the Board will continue.
