A bit of background. Biden moved Robb (former GC) out, is going for the more explicit pro-union approach in NLRB.
Obama did same thing in being explicitly pro-union.
Basically the GC's then took pretty aggressive positions
" Solomon pushed a case against Boeing in 2011 for trying to open a factory in right-to-work South Carolina. He argued this was retaliation against unionized workers in Washington state even though none had been laid off. He demanded Boeing abandon a $2 billion investment and move all production to Washington state."
Here's the letter from the Former GC - who was forcefully removed - so the agency is a bit less independent from the administration than one would think from the act itself.

What is interesting is that even Trump allowed the (dem) GC to serve out their term, so this Biden approach is a bit new.
I mention just because a lot of posts are mention the NLRB is a "neutral" govt agency. Biden has promised that it will be the most "pro-union" ever, and has taken steps to make that happen.
