CHALLENGING THE NLRB

With worker organizing and collective action on the rise—and garnering greater
and greater popular support—employers are deploying a new(ish) response:
attacking the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Board and thus
the nation’s system of labor law. These attacks come from a range of prominent
employers (to date: SpaceX, Trader Joe’s, and Amazon) and are multi-pronged (to
date: that Board members and ALJs are impermissibly shielded from Presidential
removal, that Board adjudications violate the VII Amendment right to jury trial,
that the Board is a separation-of-powers violation, and that it presents a
major-questions-doctrine or non-delegation problem). Although the claims may
have seemed outlandish a handful of years ago, the current Supreme Court’s
hostility to the administrative state requires that we take them seriously.

STARBUCKS

A bellwether company in the U.S., Starbucks — despite its “progressive”
reputation — has enacted vicious anti-union policies. And yet, workers at
hundreds of Starbucks stores across the country have succeeded in organizing and
winning union representation. Predictably, Starbucks is dragging out the
bargaining process, violating workers’ labor rights, and continuing to interfere
with employees’ choice to join a union.

ONLABOR

Law. Workers. Organizing.

OnLabor is a blog devoted to workers, unions, and their politics. We interpret
our subject broadly to include the current crisis in the traditional union
movement (why union decline is happening and what it means for our society); the
new and contested forms of worker organization that are filling the labor union
gap; how work ought to be structured and managed; how workers ought to be
represented and compensated; and the appropriate role of government — all three
branches — in each of these issues.
