On September 16, 2014, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) introduced the National Labor Relations Board Reform Act. In a press release, Sen. McConnell said, βitβs past time to restore the NLRB to its proper role as umpire, instead of advocate for the Right or Left.β Co-sponsor Alexander said, βThe board is too partisan, swinging from one side to the other with each new administration . . . It’s time for the board to restore stability to our nation’s workplaces, with nonpartisan decisions made more quickly, assisted by a neutral general counsel.β
