Nation’s Restaurant News: Industry Responds to Trump’s Supreme Court Nominee
Judge Neil Gorsuch has a history of siding with employers.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. And now, the restaurant industry is responding.
The National Restaurant Association applauded the appointment after asking the Supreme Court to hear a challenge to existing laws preventing cooks and dishwashers from sharing in tip pools. Angelo Amador, the executive director of the Association’s Restaurant Law Center, said Gorsuch is “an experienced and knowledgeable judge who had extensive bipartisan support when he was confirmed to the 10th Circuit unanimously. We look forward to again having a full bench in the U.S. Supreme Court to decide cases of critical importance to our industry and the economy in general.”
Gorsuch has a history of siding with employers and is seen as unfavorable to government regulations. However, his confirmation is expected to be challenged in the Senate. Confirmation hearings for Gorsuch are expected to take place in either March or April.
