“In a radical shake-up of the federal agency tasked with protecting the right of private sector employees to organize, U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday fired two key leaders at the National Labor Relations Board. Trump ousted NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo and — in a less expected and legally dubious move — also removed Democratic NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox. Wilcox’s position is protected by federal law which states that board members can only be fired for neglect or malfeasance, per Bloomberg. … Wilcox was appointed to the NLRB in 2021 and was reconfirmed by the Senate for a second term in 2023. That term was slated to last through 2028.” (01/28/25)
