Marvin Elliot Kaplan[1][2] is an American lawyer and government official who is a member and former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board.[3] Prior to assuming his current role, he was the chief counsel of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. In June 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Kaplan to be a member of the NLRB for a term expiring on August 27, 2020. He was confirmed by the Senate on August 2, 2017, by a vote of 50–48.[4] On March 2, 2020, Trump announced that he would renominate Kaplan for a second five-year term expiring on August 27, 2025.[5] On July 29, 2020, Kaplan was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 52–46, thereby keeping the NLRB in solid Republican control.
