Mr. Estrada has no judicial experience, and the D.C. Appellate Court is extremely important to workers and unions because it hears so many cases involving the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other federal agencies. Congress has vested this court with exclusive or special jurisdiction over cases involving many workplace, consumer protection, civil rights, and environmental statutes. This court is also widely regarded as the most powerful appellate court after the Supreme Court and could be used as stepping-stone to a Supreme Court nomination.
