Senate leaders expect a floor vote on National Labor Relations Board nominees James Macy and David Prouty within days of the June 9 Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing.
Confirmation would fill vacancies that have left the board short-handed during a busy docket of union representation petitions and unfair labor practice complaints.
Lobbyists on both sides are pressing moderate senators because a single vote could flip whether the NLRB issues pro-employer or pro-union precedents on remedies and election procedures.
The timing matters for pending cases involving major retailers, logistics firms and healthcare chains awaiting clarified standards on joint employment and contract worker organizing.
