Overview
In a move generating significant criticism, President Trump has fired NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo and board member Gwynne Wilcox, halting operations at the agency. These dismissals are viewed as an attempt to shift labor law enforcement toward pro-management policies. Abruzzo, known for her strong support of worker rights, successfully spearheaded several cases against major companies. Wilcox pledged to challenge her ouster, stating it violates legal protections for board members, as the NLRB now lacks the quorum to adjudicate labor disputes.
