NLRB confirmations secure Republican majority
August 11, 2026 // The Associated Builders and Contractors in a Friday statement commended the confirmation of Macy and Prouty, noting that losing a quorum would have left NLRB "unable to issue decisions, creating additional uncertainty for the construction industry and the broader employer community." "A fully functioning NLRB is essential to reducing the growing case backlog and ensuring labor disputes are resolved in a timely and predictable manner," Kristen Swearingen, ABC vice president of government affairs, said. In addition to the NLRB confirmations, the Senate also confirmed economist Brett Matsumoto to a four-year term as DOL's Commissioner of Labor Statistics.
