The D.C. Circuit says no, the 7
th Circuit says yes. For the details, see Ross
Runkel's post,
Is 2-Member NLRB authorized to issue orders? Opposite decisions on the same day.To make matters even more
complicated, the 1st Circuit in March held the 2 member decisions were valid, see
Two Member NLRB Legal, At Least in the First Circuit.
This kind of circuit split usually ends up in the Supreme Court, but it may also speed up the confirmation process for the Board
nominations of
Craig Becker and
Mark Pearce. Even when they are confirmed, there will still be one vacancy on the five member board.
