The U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee held a confirmation hearing for National Labor Relations Board nominees James Macy and David Prouty on June 9.
Labor lawyers said Macy’s potential confirmation could shift the five-member board’s ideological balance toward management positions on union election rules, joint-employer standards and remedy orders.
Democrats questioned the nominees on prior writings skeptical of aggressive NLRB enforcement, while Republicans framed the picks as necessary to restore predictability for employers.
The hearing sets the stage for a floor vote that could determine whether the Biden-era pro-labor board majority survives into the second half of 2026.
