Commentary: Finally, it’s time for the Trump NLRB to go on offense
September 21, 2026 // The Cemex decision was legally problematic, and the precedent the Biden NLRB has set was challenged in federal courts. But now, Carey has targeted the Cemex decision for reversal, arguing the decision is “contrary to Supreme Court precedent and sound labor policy.” As labor policy expert Vinnie Vernuccio of the Institute for the American Worker explains: Her [Carey’s] brief notes that the Biden-era board ignored “the significant impact its decision had on worker free choice,” which she rightly calls a “backbone” of federal labor law.
