The Trump Administration’s Impact on Work and Employment Policy in the United States

Controversies involving Donald Trump’s presidency have dominated headlines around the world to a greater degree than any recent U.S. President. The headlines, however, have obscured the many significant changes the Trump Administration has made behind the scenes using executive orders, regulatory powers, and legislation.  One of the areas where he has had significant impact is in area of work and employment policy.  In almost every case, the actions President Trump has taken in this area have benefitted employers and disadvantaged workers.  This includes weakening workplace health and safety, discrimination, and fair pay protections, as well as further shifting the balance of power between unions and management away from employees and to employers.  This presentation will focus on the changing American landscape in these areas.
