Advocacy Update l White House Moves to Shore Up NLRB

What's Happening: 
President Trump has nominated James Macy (R) and David Prouty (D) to the National Labor Relations Board, pairing the nominations to maintain the agency’s ability to operate.

• Prouty, a current Board member, is up for renomination to a term ending August 2031.
• Macy, currently a senior Department of Labor official and former management‑side labor attorney, is nominated to a term ending August 2030.

Why it Matters:
Prouty’s current term expires in August, and, without action, the Board risked losing a quorum—halting decisions and enforcement. Advancing the nominations together preserves continuity at the agency that oversees labor relations nationwide.

• If confirmed, Republicans would hold a 3–1 majority on the Board until December 2027, when Chair James Murphy’s term expires.
