I think this agency is well known to all of us. And it seems they are not done being Trumps puppets to destroy unions.

Donald Trump ran for president promising to uplift workers. But his actions have done the exact opposite.
According to a new EPI report, Trump appointees on the board of a small, independent agency called the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)—and the NLRB’s Trump-appointed general counsel (GC)—are working hard to undermine workers’ rights to join together in collective action to improve pay and working conditions.
As authors Celine McNicholas, Margaret Poydock, and Lynn Rhinehart warn, Trump’s appointees have ticked off one by one the 10 items on a U.S. Chamber of Commerce hit list of NLRB policies to overturn. And they’re not done yet: The NLRB plans to go after more worker protections in the months ahead.

The Trump Board’s actions are a direct attack on the roughly 8.5 million private-sector workers who have union representation and the millions more who report that they would vote for a union if a union election were held at their workplace.
As McNicholas, Poydock, and Rhinehart note, “The manner and speed with which the Trump board has reversed precedent lays bare their anti-worker, anti-union agenda.… Congress must hold the Trump NLRB accountable and prioritize legislative reform that will restore the original promise of our nation’s labor law—to encourage and promote the practice of collective bargaining by working people.”
