WASHINGTON (Reuters) â The U.S. Senate on Wednesday confirmed union lawyers Gwynne Wilcox and David Prouty to seats on the National Labor Relations Board, paving the way for a Democratic majority that is likely to reverse a series of employer-friendly Trump-era decisions.
The Democrat-led Senate voted 52-47 to approve the nomination of Wilcox, a partner at Levy Ratner in New York, and 53-46 to confirm Prouty, the general counsel of New York City service worker union SEIU 32BJ.
A White House spokesperson hailed the confirmations and said Biden has âmade it a priority to appoint members to the NLRB who will protect worker organizing, collective bargaining, and workersâ rights to engage in concerted activity.â
