The underlying Board order was issued when only two members were present.
Galicks, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board Summary
What Happened
Galicks, Inc. had a dispute involving labor relations that was brought before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the government agency that oversees worker organizing and labor disputes. The NLRB issued a ruling in the case, but there was a problem: only two board members were present when they made the decision.
What the Court Decided
A federal appeals court sent the case back to the NLRB for a new review. The court explained that the NLRB cannot legally make decisions with only two members present. A recent Supreme Court ruling established that the board needs at least three members to conduct official business.
