From: LawMemo Employment Law Blog
Up until now, LawMemo has provided a three-per-week email service -
Employment Law Memo - summarizing employment law decisions. It's
quite popular, and we plan to keep it going. Let's compare
Employment Law Memo to BNA's Daily Labor Report. LawMemo reports on
more appellate court decisions. Lots more. LawMemo's goal is to
report on all precedential decisions from all federal and state
appellate courts. LawMemo provides a free link directly to the
court decision. One click does it. LawMemo customers get cases
faster. Lots faster. What's new today (aaah, the Sneak Preview): I
wanted LawMemo customers to get new cases even faster than ever.
Not to try to beat out BNA (we've already done that), but to
provide LawMemo customers with the best service possible. Latest
Cases feature:...

Supreme Court Says Two-Member NLRB Had No Authority to Issue Decisions
The Supreme Court has ruled that the National Labor Relations
Board (NLRB), the administrative body that decides representation
and unfair labor practices cases, had no authority to issue
decisions while it had only two members. For more than two years,

panel split, no decision was issued. The dispute before the Supreme
Court was over the interpretation of a provision of the National
Labor Relations Act that gives the NLRB the authority to delegate
its powers to a quorum of at least three members -- and, that once
such a three-member group has been designated to handle certain
issues, two of i...
