President Theodore Roosevelt established a fact-finding commission to suspend a nine-month-long strike by Western Pennsylvania coal miners fighting for higher pay, shorter workdays, and union recognition. While the miners won better pay and reduced hours, they did not secure official union recognition; it marked the first time the federal government intervened as a neutral arbitrator in a labor dispute.

What Will the Constitutional Challenge to the NLRB Do?
Updated On: Aug 01, 2024
Aug. 1, 2024 | NLRB | Last week, a federal district court in Texas preliminarily enjoined the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) from initiating an administrative proceeding against SpaceX on the grounds that removal protections for the agency’s administrative law judges (ALJs) and five board members are unconstitutional. Put simply, the agency’s current structure is unconstitutional because it contains rules that make it too difficult for the president to fire the ALJs and board members. As with most constitutional law, the underlying legal question here turns upon impossibly vague text. Jacobin
