Carey’s name was transferred to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee for a nomination hearing, according to the Congressional Record made public Tuesday.
Carey has been at Morgan Lewis for nearly seven years, moving to the firm after eight years as an NLRB attorney.
Morgan Lewis has been at the heart of prominent modern labor disputes, representing Amazon.com Inc., SpaceX, Apple Inc., and Tesla. The firm’s attorneys have advanced emerging arguments that the NLRB’s structure is unconstitutional.
Carey has been critical of the Biden-era board, telling NLRB members at a November panel discussion that she believes they’ve attempted to “completely eliminate the rights of employers” to have conversations with workers about the decision to unionize.
The nomination solidifies the administration’s pro-employer swing at the agency.
Acting General Counsel William Cowen took office after Trump fired Jennifer Abruzzo, general counsel during Biden’s term, and her successor Jessica Rutter. Trump is also battling in court over the firing of NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox.
