How Unions Are Navigating Trump 2.0, Part I

Host Tom Godar welcomes Husch Blackwell colleague Adam Doerr to the show for a two-part episode to discuss how organized labor has approached the early days of Trump 2.0. Among other actions, the administration dismissed the National Labor Relations Board’s Chair and General Counsel in late-January 2025, establishing a change of direction for the board. In Part I of the show, Tom and Adam discuss the union reaction to these changes, and Adam provides an analysis of union activity since then—focusing on the number of filings for unfair labor practices—and whether the new direction of the board, or its lack of a quorum have affected these filings. In Part II, the conversation will shift to consider trends in union elections since January.Be sure to tune in to gain useful perspectives on how unions are approaching this new labor law landscape.
