Gwynne Wilcox says her dismissal from National Labor Relations Board was ‘blatant violation’ of law

Summary

Former National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member Gwynne Wilcox sued Trump and NLRB Chair Marvin Kaplan over her dismissal, calling it an “unprecedented and illegal” attack on the agency’s independence.

Wilcox argues her firing violates the National Labor Relations Act, as Trump did not cite required grounds like neglect of duty.

Her removal left the board without a quorum, effectively halting major decisions.

Legal experts and former NLRB chairs condemned the move as a political attempt to weaken labor rights and undermine the rule of law.

      They’ll all go to SCOTUS who will make Trump Emperor status and crown him above the law.

        At some point, I expect donvict to sign an EO requiring everyone to use racial epithets against the kinds of people donvict hates. These people screaming about “DEI” just want to be able to say the n-word with literally no consequences.
