Why it matters

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued no published decisions for the week of January 19-23, 2026, but released several unpublished decisions in representation (R) and unfair labor practice (C) cases, alongside no new Administrative Law Judge or Appellate Court decisions.[1] In R cases, the Board denied requests for review in matters involving Wendt Corporation (decertification petition upheld post-remedy of prior unfair labor practices), Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service (employer objection overruled, union certified), Montefiore Nyack Hospital (preelection hearing schedule affirmed), and Reproductive Medicine Associates of Northern California (challenged ballots counted, rejecting an eligibility agreement as contrary to the Act and policy).[1] The sole C case adopted ALJ Christine E. Dibble's findings against Deere & Company d/b/a John Deere Harvester Works for unfair labor practices, with no exceptions filed.[1]

Key parties include NLRB Members Prouty, Murphy, and Mayer (participating in all R cases); employers Wendt Corporation (Cheektowaga, NY), Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service (Chicago, IL), Montefiore Nyack Hospital (Nyack, NY), Reproductive Medicine Associates (San Francisco, CA), and Deere & Company (East Moline, IL); unions such as Shopmen’s Local Union No. 852, Teamsters Local 743, New York State Nurses Association, Teamsters Local 856, and UAW Local 865; and an individual petitioner in Wendt.[1] The NLRB Office of the Executive Secretary published the summary on February 6, 2026.[1]

These decisions follow the NLRB regaining a quorum in early January 2026 after nearly 12 months without, enabling resumption of rulings amid a case backlog influenced by prior staffing shortages and a government shutdown.[4][5] Timeline: Regional Director actions in late 2025/early 2026 (e.g., Wendt notice-posting completed pre-petition; Montefiore orders in August/September 2024); Board actions January 20-23, 2026; summary released February 6.[1] Newsworthy now as it signals normalized NLRB operations post-quorum, with denials largely affirming regional authority in routine election and ULP matters during a period of anticipated employer-friendly shifts and backlog reduction efforts.[1][5]
