Gwynne Wilcox, recently removed from the NLRB by Trump, has filed a lawsuit alleging her dismissal violates federal law. This unprecedented action leaves the agency without a quorum and raises concerns about independence within the federal labor oversight. The case could reach the Supreme Court, challenging presidential authority to dismiss board members. Legal experts suggest the dismissal undermines nearly a century of precedent regarding the independence of federal agencies. The dismissal has received criticism from former NLRB chairs and highlights tensions within the administration regarding labor law enforcement.
