The National Labor Relations Board will have a quorum for the first time since January 2025 after the Senate confirmed several of President Trump’s nominees to workplace regulation agencies.

On December 19, 2025, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm several nominees, including:

  • James Murphy to a term as an NLRB member until 2027
  • Scott Mayer to a term as an NLRB member until 2029
  • Crystal Carey to be NLRB General Counsel
  • Rosario Palmieri to be Assistant Secretary of Labor for Policy
  • Jeremiah Workman to be Assistant Secretary of Labor for Veterans’ Employment and Training
  • Henry Mack III to be Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Employment and Training Administration.

The new Republican majority on the NLRB is expected to begin tackling more than 500 pending cases and revisit some of the controversial decisions that the Board made during the Biden Administration.
