Steven Greenhouse at The Guardian reports as a Presidential Candidate last Fall, Donald Trump repeatedly promised to battle for Workers, but ever since he returned to the White House, he has taken a surprisingly large number of Anti-Worker actions. Some of those moves, among them hobbling the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), will help Trump’s billionaire business friends, most notably Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. In his first few weeks back in office, Trump fired the Acting Chair of the NLRB), leaving the U.S.’s top Labor Watchdog without a quorum to enforce laws that protect Workers’ right to Unionize. Trump designated Musk, a vehemently Anti-Union billionaire, to launch an all-out war against the Federal Bureaucracy and Workforce, and Trump and Musk have essentially treated the country’s two-million-plus Federal Employees as if they were disposable. “Donald Trump is showing that his promises to be a champion of Workers are hollow,” said Judy Conti, who serves as Government Affairs Director of the National Employment Law Project, a Worker Advocacy Group. And in a move that many Federal Workers found distasteful, Trump asked them to snitch on each other, to inform on Co-Workers engaged in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) activities. Then Trump further angered Federal Employees, as well as the Labor Movement, by announcing that it would nullify contracts reached with Federal Employee Unions in the final weeks of the Biden Administration.
