    “All in all, the National Labor Relations Board’s status is somewhere between a bad joke and a wounded dinosaur.”

    In this month’s Labor Pulse, with a view to the possibility that the Trump administration may not be fully committed to the resumption of business as usual within the post-1935 structure of federal labor law, Jim Castagnera thinks about what has been described as the “soft secession” movement, among “blue” states.

    “During the next 40 months” he observes, “I’ll be interested in seeing whether I’m correct in predicting that many blue states and labor unions will hang together.”

    To learn more about these developments, enjoy Jim’s latest Labor Pulse article, “Organized Labor and Soft Secession.”
