UC Health v. NLRB, No. 14-1049 (D.C. Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseIn NLRB v. Noel Canning, the Supreme Court determined that the Board lacked authority to act during the time that three of its five members held office via appointments that violated the Recess Appointments Clause. At issue here is whether a Regional Director of the Board had authority to conduct a union election and certify its result during that same time. The court affirmed the Board's decision that the Regional Director had authority to conduct the election. The court concluded that the Board’s interpretation of its authority was reasonable, and the court was bound to defer to the Board’s reasonable interpretation of the statute it is charged to administer. Accordingly, the court denied UC Health's petition for review and affirmed the Board's cross-application for enforcement.
