WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) voted to confirm Kent Hirozawa, Nancy Schiffer, Mark Gaston Pearce, Harry Johnson, and Philip Miscimarra as members of the National Labor Relations Board on Tuesday. All five nominees were confirmed. Senator Coons released the following statement:
“The National Labor Relations Board is a critical mediator for our labor force, resolving disputes and enforcing the laws that protect the rights of America’s workers and employers,” Senator Coons said. “If we want to support a thriving, productive workforce, we need a fully staffed NLRB to ensure workplace conditions and practices meet the standards workers expect and deserve. I am confident that the nominees confirmed today will capably lead the agency, and I am relieved that our nation will now be able to celebrate Labor Day with a functioning NLRB in place.”
