Trump taps Republican Miscimarra to head labor board

Published January 26, 2017 6:02pm ET



President Trump tapped Philip Miscimarra to head the National Labor Relations Board, the government’s main labor law enforcement agency. Miscimarra is the only Republican on the board and has been a frequent critic of the actions of its Democratic majority.

“It is an honor to be named NLRB acting chairman by the president. I remain committed to the task that Congress has assigned to the board, which is to foster stability and to apply the National Labor Relations Act in an even-handed manner that serves the interests of employees, employers and unions throughout the country,” Miscimarra said.
