Executive Summary: The U.S. Supreme Court has held that Lafe Solomon did not validly serve as Acting General Counsel for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) after former President Barak Obama nominated him to permanently fill that position in January 2011. See National Labor Relations Board v. SW General Inc., No. 15β1251 (March 21, 2017) (6-2). According to the Court, the provisions of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA) precluded Solomon from serving as acting General Counsel after his nomination.
