Gwynne Wilcox: screen image YouTube President Trump is on a roll and cleaning house.
Trump fired Biden-appointed Democrat chair of the National Labor Relations Board Gwynne Wilcox and the general counsel of the board in the latest shakeup.
Trump’s decision to fire pro-union members Gwynne Wilcox and the labor board’s general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo is getting pushback from the agency and is being described as an “unprecedented and illegal” move.
Gwynne Wilcox may challenge Trump’s decision to fire her. In a statement to Reuters, Wilcox said she will pursue “all legal avenues” to challenge Trump’s firing.
Axios reported:
President Trump fired acting chair of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Democrat Gwynne Wilcox late Monday night, she told Axios. He also fired the general counsel of the labor board, Jennifer Abruzzo, a strong advocate for unionization.
The big picture: Together the dismissals signal a broad purge at the nation’s labor regulator, which had been an exceptionally strong ally to workers and unions over the past four years.
Wilcox was the NLRB’s first Black woman board member. Where it stands: Under the national labor law, board members can only be fired for neglect of duty or malfeasance. Wilcox had served as acting board chair just for a few days at the end of the Biden administration — and it had been expected she would be replaced and resume her duties as board member.
She said she was looking into the possibility for challenging her removal.
The White House didn’t immediately respond to Axios’ request for comment.
BTTT" . . . is being described as an 'unprecedented and illegal' move."Kind of like spying on a sitting President.
Biden fired Trump appointees. Trump can do the same.
dissolve this agency as being an unconstitutional overreach and total complete waste of money.
APPOINTED BY BIDEN?
YOUR FIRED!
Last time they buried President Trump with their lawsuits.
This time President Trump is burying them with their lawsuits.
Smart
NLRB’s existence was built on shaky legal ground under FDR, Wilcox might want to think twice about opening that door.
These grifters don’t realize not even Democrats believe their BS anymore. Don’t let the door hit you, and hope you have to pay both parties legal fees for wasting the courts time on this bogus case against Trump.
Boy kickbacks are taking a beating under Trump Hooray .
If that’s true, talk about entitlement.
She's looking into whether somebody will finance the lawsuit, which is doubtful. The government has unlimited resources to use, and she and any attorneys will know this. Trump learned this when they used the government to sue him.
At least a quart low on lip filler...
“I Won!”
Trump does not even have to follow the Supreme Court. The Congress would need to impeach and remove him. I don’t see that happening.
Bye bye DEI.
I thought Trump was relocating the National Labor Relations Board to Puerto Rico???
She is just talking sh!t.
She has no recourse.
Trump defines malfeasance.
