Manchin, Sinema Block Democratic Control of NLRB in 50-49 Vote, Paving Way for Trump's Anti-Union Agenda
Dec 11, 2024, 07:36 PM
In a significant political maneuver, Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, both independents, sided with Republicans in a 50-49 Senate vote to block the re-nomination of Lauren McFerran as chair of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). This decision effectively prevents Democrats from maintaining control of the NLRB until at least 2026, paving the way for the incoming Trump administration to potentially enact an anti-union agenda. Vice President-elect JD Vance was present for the vote, highlighting its importance. The outcome has been celebrated by employer groups and criticized by labor advocates, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer expressing deep disappointment over the rejection of a nominee he described as highly qualified and dedicated to protecting worker rights. This vote marks a major defeat for labor unions and the Biden administration's efforts to secure a pro-union majority on the board.
