President Trump, 2025 Version: What Does This Mean for Organizing?

With the change in political control of the White House, as well as Republican control of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, many employers are anxiously awaiting more favorable labor policies and rulings. The perspective is not unfounded, particularly given that one of President Trump's close advisors, Elon Musk, has been the target of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) action over the years. A more pro‐employer perspective on the interpretation of the labor law is almost assured and is likely to happen sooner, rather than later, with the failure of the outgoing Congress to confirm the renomination of Chairman McFerran to the labor board. With that being said, and most relevant to employers seeking to retain union‐free status, should there be optimism that the recent election of President Trump will ease union organizing success?
