#DonaldTrump’s presidency is expected to significantly reshape the #NLRB, starting with the removal of pro-labor General Counsel #JenniferAbruzzo. Likely changes include rolling back union-friendly precedents on issues like confidentiality and worker protections, aligning the board with business interests, and potentially replacing board members to expedite conservative labor rulings.

#NLRB GC #JenniferAbruzzo is systematically gutting the "#UnionAvoidance" playbook. She's banned the use of temp-work app blacklists that force workers to cross #PicketLines:

She's changed the penalty for bosses who violate labor law during union drives. It used to be the boss would pay a fine, which was an easy price to pay in exchange for killing your workers' union. *Now*, the penalty is *automatic recognition of the union*:

I've written a lot about Biden's excellent appointees, from his #NationalLaborRelationsBoard general counsel #JenniferAbruzzo to #ConsumerFinanceProtectionBureau chair #RohitChopra to #FTC Chair #LinaKhan to #DoJ #antitrust boss #JonathanKanter:

Take #NationalLaborRelationsBoard general counsel #JenniferAbruzzo's ruling in #Cemex: when a company takes an illegal action to affect the outcome of a #union election, the consequence is now *automatic recognition of the union*:
That's a huge deal. Before, a boss could fire union organizers and intimidate workers, scuttle the union election, and then, months or years later, pay a fine and some back-wages...and the union would be smashed.

No matter how horny your boss is for replacing you with an #AI, a #union will cool his ardor

If this sounds like an #UnfairLaborPractice to you, you're not alone. #NLRB general counsel #JenniferAbruzzo agrees with you. She's another one of those Biden appointees with a principled commitment to making life better for American workers, and the technical chops to turn that principle into muscular action.

They embody the old joke about the photocopier technician who charges "$1 to kick the photocopier and $79 to know where to kick it." The best Biden appointees have their boots firmly laced, and they're *kicking* that mother:
One such expert kicker is NLRB General Counsel #JenniferAbruzzo.

But the #Biden admin, pushed by the party's left wing, made a string of historic, excellent appointments, including #NLRB General Counsel #JenniferAbruzzo, who has set her sights on punishing gig work companies for flouting labor law:

UNITE HERE 11 has brought a case to the NLRB, charging the Instawork, the UC system, Marriott, and Aimbridge with violating labor law by blackmailing gig workers into crossing the picket line.
