Joseph R. Biden Jr. positioned himself as a pro-labor president, resulting in a notable rise in unionization efforts and victories. His administration embraced unions more than predecessors.
Union filings surged to a decade-high during Biden's presidency, as did successes in organizing efforts at companies like Starbucks and Amazon, showcasing unprecedented labor movement energy.
Experts predict a stark shift in labor relations under a potential Trump administration, with reductions in challenges to employers resisting unions, reflecting concerns about reduced labor protections.
Heidi Shierholz noted that Trump's administration is expected to repeal pro-worker National Labor Relations Board precedents, ease safety rule enforcement, narrow overtime pay eligibility, and restrict gig worker rights.
