The Republican Party was the big winner in the 2014 midterm elections, gaining solid majorities in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. It will be impossible to know for sure until the new congressional term how the dynamic of a Republican Congress and a Democratic president will work out practically, but it looks as though the political atmosphere will be at least a bit more challenging for labor supporters.
The actual political makeup of federal entities such as the National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the U.S. Department of Labor probably are not going to change all that much in the short term. As organizations that operate under the executive branch, they will remain controlled by Democrats.
