Donald Trump courted union voters during his successful 2024 presidential bid,
and now Bloomberg reports that his incoming administration is poised to deliver a "#body #blow" to organized labor that has enjoyed a significant renaissance under President Joe Biden's administration.
While Biden's administration has helped multiple unions score big new contracts and organizing victories,
as well as eliminating noncompete clauses that hold workers back,
Trump's last National Labor Relations Board was far more hostile to organized labor and his next one could be even more so.
"The last time Trump ran the government, however, he filled key enforcement roles with management-side attorneys who pushed for companies to have more control over workers’ tips,
more time to run anti-union campaigns
and more discretion over who gets paid overtime,"
writes Bloomberg, before adding,
"Now that he’s had some practice, he’s likely to do more, faster."
