Labor Law Under the Trump Administration
The rules of workplace relations are shifting. Frost Brown Todd’s Mekeisha Montgomery and Kat Burgett discuss the ongoing changes and uncertainty at the NLRB at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)—from leadership vacancies and stalled confirmations to the growing backlog of cases. The result: uncertainty for both employers and unions.
But amid the chaos, new trends are taking shape. Youth-led organizing campaigns, social media activism, and the rise of smaller bargaining units are redefining how labor movements gain traction. Burgett also previews likely policy swings ahead, including changes in settlement guidance, strike management, and the protection of management rights.
Their discussion blends policy insight with practical advice, equipping employers to adapt quickly, strengthen internal communication, and anticipate a reinvigorated labor landscape.
