(http://prn.to/13oqQFU). Last month, Cablevision had filed a petition for a writ of mandamus and a motion for a stay in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to stop the NLRB from following up on these labor cases in the Bronx and Brooklyn (CD June 3 p9). The case traces back to a January D.C.

The NLRB has defended the legitimacy of its operations. “The role of Congress is to ensure a balanced NLRB and the Obama Administration bypassed Congress in order to stack the NLRB in favor of Big Labor,” Cablevision said in a statement. “Two different federal courts -- the D.C. Circuit and the Third Circuit -- have established that the NLRB is illegally constituted and has no authority to take action. The NLRB continues to ignore these rulings, and we ask the Supreme Court to compel the NLRB to immediately halt its unlawful proceedings against Cablevision.”
