Michael Sainato at The Guardian reports Congressional Democrats have warned that cuts to the U.S.’s top Labor Watchdog - the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), threaten to render the organization “basically ineffectual” and will be “catastrophic” for Workers’ Rights. The so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has targeted the NLRB for cuts and ended its leases in several States. U.S. Representatives Bobby Scott, Mark DeSaulnier and Greg Casar have written to NLRB’s Chair, Marvin Kaplan, and the Acting General Counsel, William Cowen, requesting answers on the cuts. “If the NLRB reduces its workforce and closes a number of regional offices (including one in Buffalo, New York), it will render the NLRB’s enforcement mechanism basically ineffectual, thereby chilling Workers from exercising their rights to engage in Union Organizing and protected concerted activities,” they wrote.
