Trump sued for cleaning on NLRB

Former President of the UA Workline Committee Committee New lawsuit Wednesday the accused president Donald Trump violations of the law when he was released from the agency last week.

Lawyers Gwynne Wilcox claim she was removed from her post For “political purpose” in a way that violates the 90-year-old statute established by NLRB.

She a lawsuit In Washington, DC, the Federal Court seeks a command that re -established her on the Committee and stated that her shooting was illegal.

Created a congress for implementing US Labor Laws, NLRB is an independent agency with members of the Committee that is isolated from arbitrary removal. No NLRB member has ever been released by the president until Wilcox.

On Trump’s first day in power, he replaced Wilcox as a chairman with another board member. A week later, both Wilcox and NLRB Chief Lawyer, Jennifer Abruzzo, were fired in a “late-night email,” the lawsuit said.

That e -a said she was fired because “the heads of the agency within the executive have to share the goals [Trump’s] Administration. “Wilcox has appointed a former president Joe BidenDemocrat.

The lawsuit calls it “a sharp political purpose that flies in front of an independent status of NLRB.”

Wilcox claims that her shooting made more than just breaking the independence of the agency.

He effectively forced the “immediate and vague stop” to all NLRB regulatory activities.

At the time of Wilcox’s shooting, there were already two vacancies on the five -member NLRB panel. Wilcox’s ejection leaves only two remaining members on boardMarvin Kaplan and David Pruty.

With only two of the five committees of the Committee, the NLRB does not meet the three -member threshold required to continue operation.

Without a quorum of three, “there is no no mechanism for solving work disputes” in NLRB, says Wilcox’s lawsuit.

This could be a positive development of a group of companies, including Elon muskSpacex, Amazon and other giants, who were arguing in a row lawsuits that the structure of the Committee to work is unconstitutional.

The vocal opponent of the union, Musk was Trump’s biggest donor of the campaign. A billionaire is currently serving as “Special Government employee“And the leader of Trump’s efforts against Bureakrati, known as Doge.

Musk and his Lieutenants in Doge are an unprecedented effort to reduce federal consumption, crossing through agencies and staff and recommend that thousands of civil servants be folded, and in some cases they shoot.

“We spent a weekend by bringing a USAID into a wooden chipper,” Musk wrote on Monday at X, referring to the US Agency for International Development.

There are currently no records of Doge members who visited the NLRB or contacted the agency. NLRB refused to comment on Wilcox’s suit.

Wilcox’s lawsuit also raises the challenge of Trump’s power, because he and his assistants, including Musk, quickly try to unilaterally reshape and reduce the size of the federal government.

“The president’s action against Mrs. Wilcox is part of a series of open illegal shootings in the early days of the other Trump administration, which was apparently designed to test the power of the congress to create independent agencies like the committee,” her lawyers wrote in a lawsuit.

They added that Wilcox is aware that “if he does not cause himself, the president will effectively succeed in” defying the long -standing Labor Law “, and, expanding, other independent agencies.”

Wilcox swore as a member of the NLRB in August 2021, and confirmed the Senate in September 2023 at the second five-year term. December 17, Bidan labeled Wilcox chair Committee.

The lawsuit also noted that Wilcox was “the first black woman to serve on the board.”

The 1935 National Law on Work Relations determines that the President may remove the members of the Agency’s Committee only in cases of “neglect of duties or abuse in power”, and only after that member receives a “notice and hearing”.

Wilcox never received a notice and a hearing, according to her lawsuit. And instead of identifying any neglect or abuse by Wilcox, e -s -noticing her removal allegedly stated Trump’s opinion that “the heads of agencies within the executive power must share goals [his] administration. “
