Supreme Court potentially overturns 600 NLRB decisions

Earlier today the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in NEW PROCESS STEEL, L. P. v. NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD determining that the National Labor Relations Board operated without a legal quorum for a 27 month period. As a result over 600 NLRB decisions maybe in jeopardy. These decisions included  those dealing with  concerns about representation petitions and unfair labor practice proceedings. A number of labor attorneys have suggested that employers covered by the NLRB should review their programs based on this decision.
