In a crisp 10 minutes, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee voted along strict party lines Wednesday to approve the nominations of Kent Yoshiho Hirozawa and Nancy Jean Schiffer to serve on the National Labor Relations Board.
The committee’s action sets the stage for a Senate floor vote on a full slate of five NLRB nominees, which is likely to come during the week of July 29. In addition to Hirozawa and Schiffer, current board chairman Mark Pearce is up for a second term. Republican picks Harry Johnson and Philip Miscimarra will take the the board’s remaining two seats. (The minority party gets to pick two of the five board members.)
