Ronald Meisburg, General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, announced that he will resign effective June 20. Meisburg had received a recess appointment to this position in January 2006 from President George W. Bush.
President Obama now has the immediate authority to appoint a successor. Given his pro-union appointments to the NLRB in March, many are left wondering whether President Obama will appoint another union supporter to the NLRB, this time in the soon-to-be vacant position of General Counsel.
