File a lawsuit against Trump for purification in NLRB

Former Chairman of the National Council for Labor Relations in A. New suit On Wednesday accused the president Donald Trump From breaking the law when it was launched from the agency last week.

Gwynne Wilcox's lawyers argue that she was It was removed from her post For a “political purpose” in a way that violates the 90 -year -old statute that established NLRB.

Ha suit In Washington, DC, the Federal Court seeks to obtain an order to return it to the blackboard and announced that the shooting of it was illegal.

Created by Congress to impose American labor laws, NLRB is an independent agency with an isolated board of directors from arbitrary removal. No member of NLRB was launched by a president, even Wilkox.

On the first day of Trump in his position, he is replacing Wilkox as Chairman with another member of the Board of Directors. A week later, Wilkox and NLRB lawyer, Jennifer Abzio, was launched in “late at night,” according to the case.

This e -mail said it was expelled because “the heads of agencies in the executive branch should share the goals of the Trump administration.” Wilkox was appointed by the former president Joe BidenDemocratic.

This lawsuit is called “the strict political purpose that fly in the face of the independent situation of NLRB.”

Wilkox argues that the shooting was done more than just a violation of the agency's independence.

It has been forced effectively “immediate and unspecified” on all the organizational activity of NLRB.

At the time of shooting on Wilkox, there were already two vacancies on the five -member NLRB panel. The overthrow of Wilcox leaves only two members blackboardMarin Kaplan and David Proti.

With only two of the five seats, NLRB does not meet the threshold consisting of three members that require continued work.

“No mechanism for resolving labor disputes” remains in NLRB.

This may be a positive development for the corporate group, including Elon Musk' Judicial cases The structure of the Labor Council is unconstitutional.

Musk, one of the vocal opponents of the trade union, was the largest donor in the Trump campaign. The billionaire currently works as “Private government employeeTrump's leader to combat borias, known as Dog.

Musk and its DOGE status make an unprecedented effort to reduce federal spending, move through agencies and employee offices and recommend that thousands of civilian employees be categorized, and in some cases, fire was launched.

“We spent the weekend in the US Agency for International Development in Wood drops,” he wrote on Monday, referring to the United States Agency for International Development.

There is currently no record for DOGE members who visit NLRB or contact the agency. NLRB refused to comment on the Wilkox suit.

Wilkox's suit also defines a challenge on the strength of Trump, as he and his assistants, including musk, try to reshape and reduce the size of the federal government unilaterally.

“The president's action against Mrs. Wilkox is part of a series of publicly unlawful shootings in the first days of the Trump administration, which appears to be designed to test the Congress Authority to create independent agencies like the Council,” her lawyer wrote in the lawsuit.

They added that Wilkox realizes that “if no challenge is determined, the president will have actually succeeded” in encouraging the protection of the long labor law, “and therefore, in other independent agencies.”

Wilkox took the oath as a member of NLRB in August 2021, and confirmed by the Senate in September 2023 for a second for a period of five years. December 17, Biden Dean chair From the council.

The lawsuit also indicated that Wilkox was “the first black woman working on the blackboard.”

The 1935 National Labor Relations Law determines that the president cannot only remove the agency's board members in cases of “neglecting duty or violations in his position”, and after this member receives “notice and session” only.

Wilkox did not receive any notice and heard, according to her lawsuit. Instead of determining any neglect or bad reduction by Wilkox, the email noted that its removal mentioned Trump's view that “the heads of the agencies within the executive authority should share the goals (its management).”
