Looks to me like it was unanimous. Earlier this week, 201 House Democrats sent a letter to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, expressing their “serious concern” about his position on nominations for the National Labor Relations Board.

Here is some of what House Democrats said:

This is nothing more than a blatant and cynical attempt to shut down the NLRB’s lawful ability to investigate and remedy unfair labor practices. …The NLRB provides critical protections to American workers and gives businesses much needed labor certainty. Each day that the Board sits idle is one in which workers’ lawful rights are put at risk. This continued ideological obstructionism is denying hardworking Americans the crucial worker protections that the NLRB provides.



Read their full letter here: (http://nhlabornews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/7-9-13-FINAL-NLRB-Letter-to-Sen-McConnell.pdf) I looked through the signatures and didn’t see a single House Democrat missing. Do you know how hard it is to find unanimity in Washington, DC these days?

The National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency vested with the power to safeguard employees’ rights to organize and to determine whether to have unions as their bargaining representative. The agency also acts to prevent and remedy unfair labor practices committed by private sector employers and unions.
