Companies Challenge Labor Rulings
>>>
Dozens of companies are seeking to void or block rulings by the National Labor Relations Board in the wake of a court decision that found President Barack Obama's board appointments unconstitutional.
>
The companies are attempting to do a variety of things, including overturn or block union elections, undo penalties they were ordered to pay to fired workers and halt subpoenas. Employers also argue that at least 10 NLRB regional directors are illegitimate because they were installed by invalid Obama labor-board appointees, and say regional decisions should be voided, too.

"This is the most significant crisis that the board has been in since the [National Labor Relations Act] was passed and found constitutional," he said, citing the 1937 Supreme Court decision that upheld the act establishing modern labor law.

If we had gotten proper filibuster reform from Reid, Obama could make the NLRB appointments stick and put an end to this.
