During his career in private practice, Scalia has defended major corporations against financial and labor regulations

Writing in The New Yorker, Eyal Press said: "as a corporate lawyer, Scalia has repeatedly hindered the efforts of workers to secure benefits or defend their rights."

After leaving the Bush administration, he helped Wall Street firms oppose financial oversight and criticized banking regulations put in place under Obama.

Scalia argued for the plaintiffs in Wal-Mart v. Maryland in July 2006, which invalidated a state law under which large companies with at least 10,000 employees would have been required to spend at least 8% of their payroll on employee healthcare

On July 18, 2019, President Donald Trump announced he would nominate Scalia to be the next Secretary of Labor

During his tenure in the Department of Labor, he weakened some labor and employment protections, drawing criticism from organized labor leaders

MAGA for the workers is bullshit. Yet, there were plenty of union and non-union workers that voted for the orange pile of dung.

His record:

Scalia opposed President Obama’s executive order mandating a $10.10 minimum wage for federal contract workers. In a 2014 op-ed, Scalia questioned both the economic wisdom of mandating such a modest wage for contract workers, and also opined that the President had questionable legal basis for his order.

Scalia is a union-buster. When unionized Boeing workers in Washington State faced threats by their employer to relocate their jobs to another state if they included a no-strike clause in their contract, the National Labor Relations Board brought a case against the company. Scalia defended the Boeing Company in this case.

In a 1998 article written for the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Scalia argued that quid pro quo sexual harassment shouldn’t be recognized as a cause of action for which employers could be held liable
