It also made workers feel they needed a savior like Trump. In other words, his unlikely victory follows a straight line from the defeat of the Labor Reform Act of to the election of That bill would have modernized and empowered unions through more effective recognition procedures accompanied by enhanced power in negotiations.

Instead, its death by filibuster became the beginning of their end. It will likely be a three-punch fight, ending with a fatal blow: Trump and Pence met with with local labor leaders and union members in Brook Park, Ohio, in September. During the same period, wealth inequality in the U.

A popular narrative argues that deteriorating economic conditions provided the fuel for the Trump conflagration as it swept through the former union strongholds of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio.

The first is regulatory. On his inauguration, Trump has the opportunity to appoint two new members to the National Labor Relations Board now controlled by Obama appointees with administrative discretion to implement pro-labor decisions.

With their new majority, Republican appointees will have a smorgasbord of past cases and regulations to repeal and replace. The second is the Supreme Court.

If Trump fills the vacant seat with someone in the mold of the late Antonin Scalia, the new court will likely uphold what in my view is the rickety constitutional theory of union dues put forth by Samuel Alito in Knox v.

In Missouri, Republicans legislators said they expect to pass a right-to-work law that bars mandatory union fees early inand the incoming GOP governor says he will sign it. Legislators in Kentucky followed a slightly different route by focusing on county rather than statewide legislation.

Their gambit paid off in November when a federal appeals court upheld the validity of a county right-to-work law. Expect the entire state to adopt the policy soon. New Hampshire has traditionally followed the principle of collective security and defeated right-to-work initiatives in and But with the election of a Republican governor and legislature, the issue could prevail, which would make the Granite State the first in New England to institute right to work.

And in Ohio, a Republican legislator introduced a bill in April to ban compulsory dues payments, declaring: Clearly, right-to-work supporters have seized the initiative and are marching on the offensive.
