Well, he could certainly try, but he would quickly get slapped down by the federal courts. The process of union elections is firmly set by statutory law, which is why the dems are trying to get card check through congress. If it was as easy as appointing a couple people to the NLRB I imagine they would have done that during Obama's first months in office

As for the NRLB, they aren't particularly powerful anyway. They don't even have they authority to execute their own decisions, everything has to be signed off on by a federal judge and is subject to appeal. Which is probably the reason nobody has bothered to fill any of the vacancies on it for the last 4 years.

That being said, I've seen a lot of crazy things in the last couple months with Obama and the democrats. So it wouldn't surprise me if they tried anything at this point.
