##  January 2025 Newsletter

### Employment Law Bulletin

#### A Monthly Report On Labor Law Issues

##### Volume XXXXIII, Issue 1

**In this issue:** The recent Senate vote against reconfirming NLRB Chair Lauren McFerran paves the way for a Republican majority at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), enabling President-Elect Trump to overturn key pro-union rulings from the Biden era, such as those on “card-check” union recognition and mandatory captive audience meetings. Meanwhile, Trump’s selection of pro-union Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor signals potential moderation in labor policy, reflecting his focus on working-class voters. On immigration, despite the rhetoric of mass deportations, legal and logistical constraints suggest the administration will focus on targeted enforcement, workplace raids, and I-9 audits. This political shift underscores a broader realignment in policy priorities and partisan dynamics across labor and immigration.
