The Supreme Court ruled in NLRB v. Noel Canning that recess appointments President Barack Obama made to the NLRB in January 2014 were unconstitutional, invaliding hundreds of decisions made by those board members in that roughly year-and-a-half period. Upon the NLRB’s recent ratification, those decisions are now valid.
“The Board has now ratified these actions to remove any question concerning the validity of actions undertaken during that period,” according to an NLRB news release.
