On March 25, President Trump nominated Crystal Carey to serve as the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Carey is currently a partner at the law firm Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, which she joined in 2018. Prior to joining Morgan Lewis, Carey was an NLRB attorney for eight years.   

Morgan Lewis is one of the largest management-side law firms that currently represents corporations known for violating workers’ rights, including Amazon, SpaceX, Apple, and Tesla. Morgan Lewis is also pursuing the legal challenge that the NLRB is unconstitutional, despite several former NLRB members being employed at the firm.  

By nominating Carey as the NLRB general counsel, President Trump has reaffirmed that the NLRB will rule on the side of employers over workers.
