A conversation with the former head of the National Labor Relations Board fired President Donald Trump.

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee is calling for an investigation into DOGE's access to the National Labor Relations Board following exclusive NPR reporting on sensitive data being removed from the agency.

The proposal from outside the White House has the potential to upend our entire system of labor relations.

Organized labor could be Trump’s kryptonite

When Biden’s NLRB began to restore workers’ rights, the world’s richest men moved to shut down the NLRB altogether.

"I will be pursuing all legal avenues to challenge my removal, which violates long-standing Supreme Court precedent," fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox, who was fired along with National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo.

Trump’s NLRB will likely be filled with lawyers from the union-busting world hell-bent on rolling back workers’ gains.

Changes would likely make it more difficult for workers to form unions and negotiate workplace improvements, but the labor movement may withstand those headwinds since many of the factors that have driven its growth remain in place, experts said.

On Tuesday, federal officials reported a 29% jump in union election petitions during the most recent fiscal year, rising from 2,593 in 2023 to 3,286 in 2024.
