Labor and Employment Law Changes in the Trump Era
President Trump's first 11 months in office brought significant changes to labor and employment law. The Obama administration succeeded in enacting many pro-employee policies through regulations and executive orders. Due to the largely regulatory nature of those changes, the Trump administration reversed many of those enactments, and has signaled a much more business-friendly stance than its predecessor. Immediate changes to the leadership and agendas for the Department of Labor (DOL), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) have already occurred, along with reversals of policy and positions taken in court.
The DOL
The DOL played a key role in implementing the Obama agenda during the last administration. The Trump DOL has already rolled back many Obama-era regulations, such as ending a narrow reading on requirements for drug testing among applicants for unemployment benefits (see http://bit.ly/2nRUlN5); proposing a new rule to end the prohibition on tip pooling between servers and other personnel at restaurants such as bartenders, hosts, and dishwashers (see http://bit.ly/2nRUlN5); and proposing a rescinding of the so-called “persuader rule,” which required attorneys advising employers facing union campaigns to make mandatory disclosures of their clients (see http://bit.ly/295qcWd).
