Senate confirms NLRB nominee, giving Trump picks control over labor watchdog.......
Washington Examiner ^ | April 11, 2018 | Sean Higgins

The Senate voted 50-48 Wednesday to confirm business lawyer John Ring to fill the open seat on the National Labor Relations Board, the federal government's main labor law enforcement agency, "giving the five-member board a majority consisting of President Trump's appointees through at least 2020".....

The board achieved a reputation for pro-union activism during the Obama administration, which the Trump White House and congressional Republicans have been eager to reverse.

"Mr. Ring will be a principled and objective voice on the NLRB, and not a rubber stamp to special interests that were in favor during the Obama administration. We commend the Senate for voting to confirm him to the NLRB so that workers can count on a balanced and common-sense approach from the board moving forward," said Reps. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., and Tim Walberg, R-Mich., in a joint statement.
