A former member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. President Donald Trump, alleging that her dismissal violated federal labor laws designed to protect the rights of American workers.
Gwynne Wilcox, who was terminated on Jan. 27 via a late-night email from the White House, claims in her lawsuit that the move was unlawful. The National Labor Relations Act states that board members can only be removed for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, not for any other reason.
