CDW Urges AG Bondi to Clarify Administration’s Position on Loper Bright and Cemex
On April 24, 2025, the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking the administration to clarify to the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit that it does not support the NLRB’s Acting General Counsel’s (GC) position with respect to the Supreme Court’s Loper Bright decision or the NLRB’s decision in Cemex Construction. This letter was sent in direct response to a brief that Acting General Counsel Cowen filed in NP Red Rock LLC with the DC Circuit in which he advocated for positions contrary to Supreme Court precedent. CDW also reiterated a previous request to the Attorney General to abandon certain Biden-era NLRB decisions.
The following statement can be attributed to CDW Chair Kristen Swearingen:
“The current Acting General Counsel’s attack on Loper Bright and continued defense of the Cemex ruling, despite Supreme Court precedent, is deeply concerning. It is time to end the confusion caused by the Biden-era Board and align the NLRB’s decisions with binding Supreme Court precedent. President Trump’s efforts to ensure accountability and consistency throughout the executive branch are the first step. We now ask Attorney General Bondi to declare Biden-era precedent as no longer binding and clarify that the Trump administration does not support the Acting General Counsel’s interpretations that disregard clear Supreme Court precedent.”
