Trump Is Delivering on Project 2025’s Promise to Gut the NLRB

“My colleagues in the work council are one of the best (NLRB) who wanted to remain unknown, fearing retribution.

“I intended to hold the rest of my career in NLRB. I appeared to work positively because I needed to spend my days, helping to do the act. The work for me meant and I went on the way to my goal. And then Dodge, Musk, Wu, Trump brought cruelty, corruption, anger.”

The assistant support assistant told me that the union, which represented the NVRB workers, managed to push away from the dismantling of the council, but largely there was a pyro victory. Currently, the council of three people lack the quorum to take action when only two members after Trump fired a third member, Gwin Wilcaks, shortly after his orientation. As a result, despite the fact that most of its employees are still working, avoiding the mass cuts that have been parsed by many other branches of the federal government, in practice, NLRB is largely neutered and investigated against incorrect employers such as, such as Tesla– Many employees have accused of creating a toxic environment in the workplace – they are in anticipation.

Having worse, Trump has nominated a Crystal Carey Lawyer’s lawyer NLRB. Given the composition of this congress, when the Republicans keep the majority in both houses, it is difficult to understand how it will not be confirmed.

Overall, in accordance with the priorities, the new administration was remandled in detail in the project 2025 to become the fact that the employee called “a hammer that employers could use against trade unions.” In other words, with the Trump administration, NLRB does all the opposite of what was created.

NLRB has not been in the news recently – with attention focused on immigration raids, tariffs and foreign policy. But this does not mean that what is happening there suddenly became less important. In fact, five months in Trump 2.0, so much attacked the rights of workers that it became possible, at least partially, the cutered key state institutions such as NLRB.

Such a undermining of breed principles took place in other agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the National Security and Health Institute, which serve to protect employees and consumers with low -income from predatory employers and operational creditors.

At the same time, Trump also tried to deprive More than 1 million federal workersIt is extended to a dozen departments and 30 agencies, trade union and collective rights. And last month a Federal Appeal Court at DC allowed to continue this process. A Center for American Progress It has estimated that this is the only largest union rights backback in the US history.

Trade unions representing these federal workers were strongly arguing in court that this is illegal Political retribution Against groups against Trump’s agenda. But given the current composition of the Supreme Court and its work results – including its Edition In May, this allowed the fire of Wilcox – it is likely that Trump would leave this unusual attack.

Meanwhile, when there is a silver lining, it is California and other blue powers and municipalities moving in the opposite direction. Last month, the Los Angeles City Council approved a resolution that implements the highest minimum wage in the country for sectors service workers in the fields that will be crucial during the 2028 Olympic Games. Over the next three years, he acts as an “Olympic wage”, he acts in stages, raising wages and assistance in health care for tens of thousands of hotels, restaurants and concession workers.

However, this decree faces a significant refusal. A Coalition of hotel and concession owners and airlines Attempts to make the final run around the increase in wages by collecting signatures for a referendum in November, which will cancel the ruling. More than 90,000 signatures are needed to promote forward, and unions are worried that the subscribers under pressure to move quickly use dishonest tactics – including that it is potential subscribers, that this measure protects the minimum wage and provides more affordable housing for the city.

Combine local 11 and other trade unions in the Los -Angeles area who started Protect the wage company In response. The company has combined its own signature collection efforts to put a referendum on a newsletter that would not only defend the Olympic salaries, but also extend the minimum wage on workers throughout the board and, in another voting, requires the approval of voters of any taxpayer. In addition, the company officially demanded that the prosecutor of the city of Los -Andgeles and the Attorney General investigates the coalition tactics trying to cancel a new urban ruling. And earlier this week, two members of the City Council imposed a petition that will require payments for employees in the affected fields, if legal problems lead to the suspension of salaries and benefits. He went beyond the committee and will be discussed later in the summer.

This is two very different vision of the role of organized work in America. Trump became a great defender of the American worker. In reality, however, he is busy with NVRB, which does everything, but it is impossible for employees to fight on behalf of the workers, and the dismantling of the rights of collective talks more than a million federal workers.

If workers in the Trump era win additional protection and raising wages, it is clear that it will come out of the city and state levels, for example, at the Olympic wage in Los Angeles, not from federal actions.
