Quickie union election rule. The National Labor Relations Board in 2014 issued a rule that, among other things, shortened the time period between when a union files for an election and the election itself, which critics believe makes it easier for unions to organize workers because employers have less time to present their arguments against union representation. That rule is among several pro-worker policies adopted by the NLRB's Democratic majority that could be walked back if Trump appoints more conservative members to the board, or he could restrict its funding to limit enforcement. The five-member panel currently has two vacancies, plus the general counsel who decides which cases are heard by the board will see his term expire this year.
