President Joe Biden has submitted two nominations for seats on the five-member National Labor Relations Board, one a Democrat and the other a Republican. The nominees are current Chair Lauren McFerran, a Democrat, to serve a third five-year term; and Republican Joshua L. Ditelberg, an employment law partner at Seyfarth Shaw, to fill a current Board vacancy. If the U.S. Senate confirms the nominees before it adjourns for the year, pro-union Democrats will continue to comprise the majority on the NLRB until at least August 2026, regardless of which political party wins the Presidential and Senate elections this fall.
