Democratic representatives have alerted that proposed cuts to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) could drastically hinder its effectiveness in protecting workers' rights. With a significant reduction in field staffing and increasing case loads, the agency struggles to function effectively. Cutting workforce or closing regional offices will likely deter workers from engaging in union activities. Representatives have sought clarifications from the government efficiency department on the cuts and expressed the critical harm these directives could cause for workers and labor rights in the U.S.
If the NLRB reduces its workforce and closes a number of regional offices, it will render the NLRB's enforcement mechanism basically ineffectual, thereby chilling workers from exercising their rights.
The harm to America's workers by potential directives to reduce this independent agency's workforce cannot be overstated, any NLRB reduction in force would be catastrophic for workers' rights.
