Squire Patton Boggs Summer Associate Akshey Mulpuri discusses legislative developments in several states attempting to address the current incapacity of the National Labor Relations Board due to lack of a quorum.

Since January 27, 2025, when National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or “Board”) Member Gwynne Wilcox was removed from that position, the NLRB – the federal administrative agency that oversees labor relations matters between private sector employers, employees, and labor unions – has been comprised of only two Senate-confirmed members. As a consequence, the Board has lacked the three-member quorum necessary for it to issue decisions in union representation and unfair labor practice cases. (See our blog here.)
