Summary

Since returning to office, Trump has taken steps that labor experts say undermine US worker protections.

He has fired key officials—including the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)’s acting chair and EEOC commissioners—leaving agencies without the quorum needed to enforce labor laws.

Critics argue these actions, which include targeting federal employees and dismantling union support, serve to benefit billionaire allies like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, create a hostile work environment, and violate due process.
