On
the whole, Judge Gorsuch’s written opinions on labor and employment issues do
not appear to contain any unpleasant surprises for employers. His
opinions—which, by and large, are clear and easy to read—have not expressed any
new interpretations of existing law that would disadvantage employers.

Following
a call for ethics reform, Abbott urged lawmakers to end the practice of
automatic deduction of union dues from the paychecks of government workers,
saying “taxpayer money shouldn’t be used to support the collection of union
dues.”
Rick
Levy, secretary-treasurer of the Texas AFL-CIO, said he’d rather
have heard Abbott talking about issues that families discuss around the dinner
table.
“He
seemed to throw a bone to those who are on an ideological crusade,” Levy said.
“It was misguided.”
