## Resource

Union attorney and Brooklyn Law adjunct professor Andrew Strom breaks down a Sixth Circuit ruling that denied the NLRB a preliminary injunction in a case where a Michigan hospital illegally withdrew union recognition while workers voted 89 to 66 to keep it. He explains the NLRA’s four-year enforcement gap, the unequal standard applied to workers versus employers seeking injunctions and why he believes the class backgrounds of Trump-appointed federal judges are as much a factor in these rulings as explicit ideology.
