The Supreme Court has issued its rulings, and with big decisions on citizenship, transgender athletes, and congressional redistricting, a major case with significant impacts on policy may fly under the radar. In Trump v. Slaughter, the Court ruled that the President has the power to dismiss members of multi-member federal boards like the Federal Trade Commission regardless of Congressional attempts to restrict the dismissal power to specific conditions. That will affect, among other things, labor-relations law, because the National Labor Relations Board is one of these multi-member boards almost certainly affected by the ruling. With President Trump also having nominated Kieth Sonderling as permanent Secretary of Labor, where will the Slaughter ruling and the new labor secretary take labor policy (and other economic policy, with other affected boards)? Joining us to discuss these questions is Akash Chougule of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity.
