"Our argument in response is that Congress did not intend that the NLRB would lose a quorum intentionally, not just by happenstance based on when people resign, but that the president could deprive the agency of the quorum at any time in an instance, said Julio Sharp-Wasserman, assistant Attorney General, at the hearing. The NLRB did not comment on the assertions."
"So far in Amazon's suit, the tech giant's legal team has found more success than lawyers for New York State and the state and Amazon union lawyers face an unyielding audience. U.S. District Court Judge Eric Komitee of the Eastern District of New York granted the e-commerce giant a temporary restraining order in November blocking the state labor board from dipping into NLRA enforcement. He suggested that he's not likely to decide in their favor."
New York Attorney General lawyers argue that the National Labor Relations Board lost its independence after a presidential firing that flouted procedure and left the board without a quorum for a year. The AG's labor bureau, joined by Amazon Teamsters lawyers, raised the argument during a Jan. 28 hearing about a lawsuit Amazon filed to block a New York law that would let the state Public Employee Relations Board enforce federal labor law when the NLRB is dysfunctional. The AG emphasized that Congress did not intend intentional quorum loss, while a federal judge earlier granted Amazon a temporary restraining order.
