Biden took the unprecedented step of firing NLRB officials, who are typically appointed to fixed terms. This tends to even things out from a partisan perspective. But since Biden took this step, the NLRB is now packed with union people, with predictable results.

Calling the smallest possible democratic majority "packed" is something, especially when as I understand it it is impossible to "pack" the NLRB, it's required to have 2 democrats and 2 republicans.
