In the wake of last week’s sweeping rebuke of a number of Obama-era precedents, President Trump has named National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member Marvin E. Kaplan as acting chairman of the board. Kaplan replaces former chairman Philip A. Miscimarra whose term expired on Dec. 16. The current board includes the following members:
- Mark Gaston Pearce, an Obama appointee whose term expires Aug. 27, 2018
- Lauren McFerran, an Obama appointee whose term expires Dec. 16, 2019
- William J. Emanuel, a Trump appointee whose term expires Aug. 27, 2021
