South Carolina Gov. Haley calls for Republican NLRB member to resign

After National Labor Relations Board member Craig Becker's term expires in December and with Republicans planning to block any new NLRB nominees, the NLRB will be paralyzed, as I've noted, unable to decide cases with just the two members who will be left. Now, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley wants to hasten that day. Haley is calling for the NLRB's Republican member, Brian Hayes, to resign. His resignation, like the end of Becker's term, would put the Board below the three members needed for a quorum.

According to Haley,

[...] the board is an "absolutely un-American ... rogue agency" with a "bully mentality."

Haley has been a vocal critic of the NLRB in the wake of the board's decision to sue Boeing over its decision to open a new plant in South Carolina, a right-to-work state.

The hilarious thing, though, is that not only does Haley not realize that the NLRB is supposed to protect the right of workers to engage in legally protected activities including strikes, but the lack of a quorum wouldn't actually make a difference to the Boeing case that's probably the only reason she even knows what "NLRB" stands for. That's because the case against Boeing wasn't brought by the Board members. It was brought by the agency's general counsel, who is allowed to continue doing his work in the absence of a quorum.
