https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-30/kavanaugh-sided-with-trump-casino-in-2012-to-thwart-union-drive

Six years before President Donald Trump nominated him for the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh sided with Trump Entertainment Resorts successful effort to thwart a unionization drive at one of its casinos.

Kavanaugh was one of three Republican-appointed judges who in 2012 voted unanimously to set aside an order by the National Labor Relations Board that would have required the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, to bargain with the United Auto Workers.

The casino has since shut down. But labor advocates point to the case -- as well as ones where he backed management at Sheldon Adelsons Las Vegas Venetian hotel and at SeaWorld after an orca killed a worker -- as evidence that Kavanaugh may hobble enforcement of workplace laws and the already-embattled union movement.

Private sector unions, while mostly corrupt, still serve a purpose for worker rights. It's public sector unions that are useless and need eradicated.

on topic, im not sure why this is newsworthy. practically any Republican judge would have sided the same way (anti-union)

somewhat agreed, especially Police Unions. those are the absolute worst and contribute to the bullshit "Thin Blue Line" mentality that protects corrupt cops

This has nothing to do with whether or not Unions are useful. It's a clear conflict of interest.
