Where the law doesn't protect labor organizing, there's violence--a lesson as the NLRB is under attack. Hope you'll take an hour to listen to me and @JonathanHafetz discuss Matewan, John Sayles' 1987 masterpiece about the West Virginia Mine Wars.

Now that we've had a couple of days with Slaughter (and a couple big cases in between), some thoughts to build on my article, Zones of Independence at the NLRB after Humphrey's Executor. (Read it here: ssrn.com/abstract=6338079) (1/7) teapawt.net/fredbjacob/status/2072…

While we’re all digesting the implications of Trump v. Slaughter, I offer my article, “Zones of Independence at the National Labor Relations Board after Humphrey’s Executor” as a glimmer of comfort for NLRB adjudication.
So thrilled that @IReadJotwell published my review of
@anyabernstein and Cristina Rodriquez's wonderful piece, "Working With Statutes." It's a love letter to civil servants, and I am here for it.

I am so excited to attend my first @COSELLWorkLaw, Colloquium on Scholarship in Employment & Labor Law. Two days of listening to the smartest labor scholars in the country (& humbly offer an idea of my own) makes this nerd feel like I'm headed to Disney World. I’m gonna be all:

Labor law and NLRB stans, from the depths of the NLRB library, I bring you “The Washington World” magazine’s September 1963 primer on the Labor Board.
I like the headline, “NLRB bans unfairness by boss or worker.” Just doing our jobs, ma’am.
@AnneMarieLofaso and I are thrilled that “Beyond Loper Bright: Iterative Construction at the @NLRB” has found a home with the @uclawjournal!
Check it out and give us thoughts—papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

One of the best.
Today in #LaborHistory: Norma Rae hits theaters! Inspired by real-life union activist Crystal Lee Sutton, the film captures the resilience and courage of workers in the face of exploitation. A must-see for anyone who believes in the power of collective action! March 2, 1979

Wow! I never thought I'd be asked to write about The Nanny, crossing picket lines, and the tradition of strong Jewish union women, so I'm indebted to @Ess_Dog for making it happen. If you like TV and labor culture, look for solongdentalplan.com in 2026!
What a delight to be back teaching labor law at @gwlaw! (Or at least on gwlaw's zoom account. Thanks, snow.)

What's better to do on a snow day than listen to a podcast about labor history, movies, and miner wars? Check out my @lawonfilm chat about Matewan with @JonathanHafetz. (watching the movie would be pretty good too.)
