Federal Labor Board s Staff Cheered Biden s Unprecedented Firing of Trump-Appointed General Counsel

Federal Labor Board’s Staff Cheered Biden’s Unprecedented Firing of Trump-Appointed General Counsel When President Joe Biden fired then-National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel Peter Robb within minutes of taking the oath of office on Jan. 20, career staffers cheered, according to internal emails obtained by the National Right to Work Foundation (NRTWF). Biden’s demand that Robb resign his post by the end of the official business day was delivered to him within 23 minutes of the inauguration, making the action one of the very first taken by the new president. When Robb refused to resign because he had been appointed by President Donald Trump in 2017 to a four-year term, Biden fired him and his deputy Alice Stock, and then named NLRB Regional Director in Chicago Peter Sung Ohr as acting general counsel. Robb was the first general counsel to be fired in the history of the agency, possibly setting a precedent for presidents to remove appointees from the previous ad

Biden can strengthen labor unions, with or without Congress

During the 2020 campaign, Biden promised to be “the most pro-union president you’ve ever seen.” Action is urgently necessary. In 1983, 20 percent of workers in the United States were union members; in 2020, that’s down to about 10.8 percent. Among employees in the private sector, the decline was even more precipitous: from 17 to 7 percent. Studies by the Economic Policy Institute and Brookings attribute the drop in union membership, along with globalization and automation, as a significant factor in wage stagnation and inequality, with the largest impact on lower income workers. Approval of labor unions, it is worth noting, is the highest it has been since 2003. In a Gallup poll conducted in 2020, 65 percent of respondents (comprised of 83 percent of Democrats, 64 percent of Independents, and 45 percent of Republicans) expressed a positive view.

Biden Labor Law Actions January 2021

Monday, March 1, 2021 President Joe Biden summarily removed National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel (GC) Peter Robb from office on January 20, 2021, and removed Robb’s deputy, Alice Stock the following day. On January 25, 2021, the president named Peter Sung Ohr to be acting General Counsel. Ohr was the NLRB’s Chicago office Regional Director. Because President Biden subsequently nominated Jennifer Abruzzo to serve as GC, Ohr will continue to serve as acting GC presumably until the Senate acts upon the nomination. As the NLRB official tasked with prosecuting cases and overseeing the NLRB’s regional offices, the GC has significant authority over NLRB policies and procedures. Former GC Robb’s tenure was notable for the extent to which he facilitated the reversal of Obama-era NLRB rules and policies. Biden’s recent actions are clearly meant to change direction from that of Trump administration appointees like Robb. Some have speculated that unfair lab
