 Jan. 28, 2025 | WORKERS' RIGHTS | President Trump fired acting chair of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Democrat Gwynne Wilcox late Monday night, she told Axios. He also fired the general counsel of the labor board, Jennifer Abruzzo, a strong advocate for unionization. Together the dismissals signal a broad purge at the nation's labor regulator, which had been an exceptionally strong ally to workers and unions over the past four years. Wilcox was the NLRB's first Black woman board member. Under the national labor law, board members can only be fired for neglect of duty or malfeasance.
