Kaplan served as chief counsel of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. He was nominated by President Donald Trump to be a member of the National Labor Relations Board for a term expiring on August 27, 2020. Kaplan's nomination, which was approved by the U.S. Senate on August 2, 2017, was supported by a number of business groups.
According to The National Law Review, the National Labor Relations Board is "likely to consider a number of significant legal issues once the vacancies are filled, including the NLRB's test for determining whether joint employer relationships exist, the standards for evaluating whether handbooks and work rules interfere with employees' rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), appropriate units for collective bargaining, the question of whether graduate students and research assistants are employees under the NLRA with the right to collective bargaining and a host of other decisions from the past eight years that more expansively interpreted the NLRA."
