President Trump, AFL-CIO to battle over National Labor Relations Board appointments
Another big battle is brewing between President Trump and organized labor — this time over his picks for the National Labor Relations Board.
On Wednesday, a Senate committee gave the green light to Republicans Marvin Kaplan and William Emanuel — Trump’s appointees for two vacant spots on the NLRB.
Both lawyers have a proven track record of fighting against unions — and the AFL-CIO has already voiced its opposition to their nominations.
If approved by the full Senate, Kaplan and Emanuel will change the five-person NLRB majority from Democrat to Republican.
