Supreme Court Invalidates over 500 NLRB Decisions
-------------------------------------------------



In a separate decision, the Supreme Court invalidated more than 500
cases adjudicated by the National Labor Relations Board in recent years.
In a five-to-four ruling, the Supreme Court said the decisions are
invalid because the five-person panel only had two sitting members. NLRB
nominees have been stalled in recent years by congressional in-fighting.
Kimberly Freeman Brown of the group American Rights at Work said,
"Hundreds of decisions in cases already decided will have to be
re-opened, needlessly delaying finality for workers who were led to
believe they already had it."
