With the assent of Reagan's sympathetic National Labor Relations Board appointees, many companies won wage and benefit cutbacks from unions, especially in the manufacturing sector.
During Reagan's presidency, the share of employees who were part of a labor union dropped from approximately one-fourth of the total workforce to approximately one-sixth of the total workforce.[
Reagan signed the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 and 1988 to specify penalties for drug offenses.[266] Both bills have been criticized in the years since for promoting racial disparities.
Reagan opposed the Voting Rights Act of 1965,[32] which he long-deemed "humiliating to the South". He initially opposed the establishment of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
He vetoed the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, tlarguing that the bill unreasonably increased the federal government's power and undermined the rights of churches and business owners.
In doing so, Reagan was the first U.S. president to veto civil rights legislation since Andrew Johnson vetoed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which was also overridden by Congress.
He appointed Clarence M. Pendleton Jr., known for his opposition to affirmative action and equal pay for men and women, as chair of the United States Commission on Civil Rights. Pendleton and Reagan's subsequent appointees greatly eroded the enforcement of civil rights law.
Reagan unsuccessfully nominated Robert Bork to the Supreme Court as a way to achieve his civil rights policy that could not be fulfilled during his presidency; Bork was a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, appointed by President Reagan in 1982...
FYI Opposition to his nomination centered on his perceived willingness to roll back the civil rights rulings of the Warren and Burger courts, and his role in the Saturday Night Massacre during the Watergate scandal.
