Default SCOTUS decision on NLRB Recess Appointments

With today's SCOTUS decision on Recess Appointments, how will this play out with the NLRB and our contract which was settled with their help? Does anyone think our own Harvard Lawyer CEO would try to challenge the validity of our contract now with this new decision?

I'm certain that the company agreed to the CBA independently and that there was no requirement by the NRLB for UCH to sign.

Haven't seen the decision, but we (airlines) are covered by the RLA, not the NLRA. Two different Acts. While the NMB did have involvement with our contract, the NLRB did not.

It would interesting to see if he would try considering the heat he's currently suffering and then having the United Pilots shut the operations down for this busy travel season.

Does his Willis Tower office have a window that opens just in case he needs it?

No windows in Willis Tower. it is a world unto themselves. No airplane pictures, models, etc. Maybe some statues of old famous bankers and robber barons?

Did anyone see my post? The NLRB has no jurisdiction over airlines. In fact, airlines are specifically excluded from the NLRA (and thus the NLRB). Our labor relations are governed by the Railway Labor Act and the NMB. You know, contracts that never expire, they just become "amendable". This was all covered in Airline 101 people. Know your industry. Sheez.

Prhaps had you mentioned "Bumps" at least 16 times people would've paid more attention?

Bahahaha. Maybe so. I'll try that next time. Would you rather I say displacements? Like the 747s in LAX and ORD, or the 777s in SEA. Standby for the DEN displacements/bumps. They're coming around the bend, right after this last chance bid closes. Mind the bumps

When I heard this on the radio this morning and heard NLRB I was thinking the NMB. My mistake.
