I pass along a news story shared by my student, Jake. Donald Trump has quietly settled two simmering disputes with his workers. These were announced with much less fanfare than the Carrier story.
In the holiday spirit, let's be grateful for small victories.
Quoting below from the New York Times:
One of the two labor agreements provides a union contract to workers at the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, whose union the hotel had previously refused to bargain with. The second agreement eases a hurdle to unionization at a recently opened Trump hotel in Washington.
The agreements reduce the probability that the National Labor Relations Board, which protects the labor rights of private-sector employees, will be called on to adjudicate disputes between workers and the Trump Organization. That possibility raised the prospect of a conflict of interest if Mr. Trump were to retain a stake in his business.
