On August 2, 2017, the Senate confirmed Marvin Kaplan as a member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Kaplan, whose confirmation was on a strict party-line vote of 50 to 48, will join fellow Republican and Chair, Philip A. Miscimarra, as well as Democrats Mark Gaston Pearce and Lauren M. McFerran. A vote on President Trump's other NLRB nominee, William Emanuel, has yet to be scheduled. With Kaplan in place, Emanuel's confirmation would eventually give the NLRB its first Republican majority in roughly a decade. What would Republican control of the NLRB look like?
