    Federal Court Permanently Enjoins New York State’s Effort to Replace the NLRB

    August 5, 2026 // The Court also noted that the NLRB regained a quorum less than one month after the preliminary injunction was issued, thus restoring the Board’s ability to function and undermining the defendant’s argument that the inoperability of the NLRB required expanded state jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Court granted summary judgment in Amazon’s favor, declared the SERA Amendment unconstitutional, and permanently enjoined its enforcement. The Court then dismissed the remaining claims as unnecessary in light of that relief. Shortly thereafter, the NLRB and New York State stipulated to the dismissal of their parallel litigation in the Northern District.
