Not long after the November elections, we discussed potential changes that could come at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or Board) after inauguration day on January 20, 2025. Although it is a virtual certainty that President-Elect Trump will very quickly remove Jennifer Abruzzo from her position as the NLRB’s current General Counsel (the agency’s chief prosecutor who selects the cases to be heard by the Board), it was unclear whether the composition of the five-member NLRB would change in early 2025 or whether a flip in the Board majority to Republican appointees would be delayed until August 2026.
We now know the answer to that question.
