The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) denied Satellite Healthcare, Inc.'s Request for Review of the Regional Director’s Decision and Certification of Representative. The Board found that the Employer's request raised no substantial issues warranting review.

The Employer contended that the Regional Director lacked the authority to continue processing the petition due to the absence of a Board quorum. However, the Board rejected this argument, citing its prior decision in Satellite Healthcare (Santa Rosa), 374 NLRB No. 25 (2026), which addressed this issue.

Furthermore, the Board denied review of the Regional Director’s overruling of Objection 2. The Employer had argued that the case should be remanded due to inadvertent mischaracterizations by the Regional Director regarding the Employer’s operations and its offer of proof. Specifically, the Employer stated its operations did not involve "ramp services," and its offer of proof did not cite safety as a reason for being unable to communicate with employees during their shifts. The Board, while acknowledging these inadvertent mischaracterizations, determined that they did not affect the Regional Director's analysis, as it did not rely on them. Therefore, a remand was deemed unnecessary.

Separately, Members Murphy and Mayer rejected the Employer's argument that the election must be set aside based on the Board's holding in Amazon.com Services, 373 NLRB No. 136 (2024), an unfair labor practice case. They explained that they did not participate in the Amazon.com Services decision and therefore expressed no view on its correctness. Their rejection of the Employer's contention was based on the reasoning provided in Satellite Healthcare, 374 NLRB No. 39 (2026).
