Mark Gaston Pearce, chairman of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), issued a statement on Friday in response to the decision of a federal Appeals Court that held that President Obama’s three appointments to the NLRB, while the Senate was in session, are unconstitutional, and that all actions taken by these appointees are invalid.
Pearce’s statement is as follows:
The Board respectfully disagrees with today’s decision and believes that the President’s position in the matter will ultimately be upheld. It should be noted that this order applies to only one specific case, Noel Canning, and that similar questions have been raised in more than a dozen cases pending in other courts of appeals.
In the meantime, the Board has important work to do. The parties who come to us seek and expect careful consideration and resolution of their cases, and for that reason, we will continue to perform our statutory duties and issue decisions.
In other words, Pearce is indicating that the NLRB will ignore the Appeals Court ruling because, as he interprets, the ruling only applies to the particular case, Noel Canning v. NLRB, that went before the court.
Jay Carney, President Obama’s spokesman, also denounced the ruling, stating that the decision has “no impact on the ongoing operations of the National Labor Relations Board.â€
