  • Trump's Labor Board Eyes Striking Down FDR-Era Union Protection

    https://tyt.com/stories/4vZLCHuQrYE4...m1fkOUQywkERhU

    Pres. Trump’s labor board is considering killing a legal precedent that has protected unions since before he was born, according to a recent filing by the board.

    One professor of labor law said he was “stunned” when Trump’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced that it would review the precedent. An AFL-CIO lawyer told The Young Turks it is “highly likely” that the NLRB will at least narrow its scope.

    The upcoming NLRB review arose from a dispute between a union representing 800 Delaware poultry workers and the Trump megadonor who owns the plant where they work. Many workers are immigrants and, according to legal filings, about two-thirds have required documents to be translated into Spanish or Haitian Creole.

    The dispute has been joined by lawyers for a national right-wing group funded by rich conservatives that has long opposed the New Deal-era precedent.
    Thanks Trump and the Trump supporters
