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.
Ha..what is good for the goose is good for the gander
Or the converse according to DEI statutes.
It's already started:
TNT needs to be taken to that building....after everyone is fired of course, and that agency never to rise fromthe ash. Plant a mini golf course over it.
She’ll be reinstated. Watch and see.
“NLRB’s existence was built on shaky legal ground under FDR, Wilcox might want to think twice about opening that door.”
The Dems are generally smart enough to fold before losing everything and that may well be the case here.
If you are APPOINTED, you can be UN-APPOINTED!!!
Heheh. Forgot about that scene. Had to think hard to recall the title to that.
And that’s why this democrat wants to sue.
She doesn’t want to give up her huge pay and benefits.
just for a few days...
I’ve always heard that, “Payback is a ....”
EVERYTHING that Trump does is controversial!
...good luck with that, BYE!
But when Biden did the same thing it wasn’t “controversial.”
Maybe it’s time to challenge that in court!
I wanna know how much some of these people make....
More than YOU!
