Federal

  • The court heard argument in National Labor Relations Board v. Southwest General, Inc. The case was about a certain type of presidential appointments made under the Federal Vacancies Act. An administrative law judge held that Southwest Ambulance committed unfair labor practices in violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Southwest appealed, arguing that the National Labor Relations Board’s then-acting general counsel was serving in that position in violation of the act and, because of that, the charges had to be dismissed. The D.C. Circuit agreed, vacating the NLRB’s order.
