Bring back our jobs (with fewer protections though)!

Abstract

Abstract: Restituiteci i nostri posti di lavoro (anche se con meno garanzie)! – The article attempts to outline the main avenues through which the Trump administration has influenced labor and industrial relations over the past four years. After a focus on the relevant unemployment provisions encompassed in the CARES Act and on the administrative rule-making carried out by the Department of Labor, due consideration is given to the impact of Trump’s appointments to the Supreme Court and the National Labor Relations Board for what concerns employment related litigation. Some remarks are eventually offered on the possible short and long-term legacy of the Trump era onto US labor law.
