We have seen what happens when Trump appoints Destroyers to kill the office they occupy.
This time, around he has sent Union Busters to the National Labor Relations Board office.
Marvin Kaplan has never practiced labor law, and his experience comes from crafting legislation for politicians to rig the rules against working people. William Emanuel has a long record of practicing labor law on behalf of employers, most recently at one of the most infamous union-busting law firms in the country.
If approved by the full Senate, Kaplan and Emanuel will change the five-person NLRB majority from Democrat to Republican.

In the coming months the NLRB is expected to weigh-in on several issues of importance to workers and unions — and possibly overturn some key Obama-era decisions.
The decisions that could be rolled back include a ruling that gave graduate students at private universities the right to join a union; a ruling that helped small groups of workers form a union within a larger company; a ruling that made it easier to hold companies responsible for labor violations committed by its contractors and a rule that sped-up the timetable for unionization votes. Business groups oppose the faster election process, arguing it denies employers time to make their case against joining a union.

In a multi-hour exhibition of evasion, Republican President Donald Trump’s two nominees to vacant National Labor Relations Board seats spent several hours before the Senate Labor Committee ducking, bobbing and weaving and generally avoiding answering tough labor law questions from the committee’s Democrats.
27 states have put "Right to Work" into law- Republicans hit American Unions in the wallet. The unions still fought the Republican effort to kill Medicare, and Medicaid, in their efforts to repeal Obamacare.

"Right-to-work” laws are government regulations which prohibit workers and employers from negotiating specific types of private contracts. "Right to Work" has been found to significantly reduce union membership. Accordingly, economic research consistently shows that “right-to-work” reduces worker earnings by 3-4% on average but also increases owner income by 2%, resulting in a transfer of income from workers to owners with “little ‘trickle-down’ to the largely non-unionized workforce in these states.”

Trump creeps into pensions
Whether the states intend it or not, and whether Trump recognizes it or not, that financial relationship and the feelings of good will and reciprocity it may create could very well lead the president to favor one state or a collection of states over others—or to lash out if one of the states’ funds were to divest from a company linked to his business.
