Not good

The United States Court of Appeals for DC has cleared the way for #Trump to fire members of the National #Labor Relations Board #NLRB & the Merit Systems Protection Board #MSPB, essentially granting Trump authority over formerly "independent" parts of the executive branch.

Judge Millet dissented saying the decision overturned #SCOTUS precedent & disabled the boards from functioning while the case proceeds.

Via #TPM @ 5:12pm ET, Mar 06, 2025

A federal judge ruled that President #Trump’s firing of #GwynneWilcox was unlawful and ordered her restored to the #NationalLaborRelationsBoard in an opinion that excoriated his quest to craft a new, super-powerful presidency.

“A President who touts an image of himself as a ‘king’ or a ‘dictator,’ perhaps as his vision of effective leadership, fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the U.S. #Constitution"

TPM - Talking Points Memo · Judge Reinstates Fired NLRB Member, Rejecting ‘A Presidency That Is Untouchable By The Law’By Kate Riga
Continued thread

#Trump has also tried to remove more than a dozen #InspectorsGeneral, as well as members of the National #Labor Relations Board [#NLRB] & the #Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [#EEOC]. Many of the ousted ofcls are contesting their removals in court.

In addition to fighting his own ouster, Dellinger has been arguing that the admin’s #MassFirings of probationary #FederalWorkers is illegal.

Keep fighting. Every bit helps.

Via Kyle Griffin:

Ex-National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox has sued the #Trump admin over her abrupt removal from the agency.
 
The complaint: "The President's removal of Ms. Wilcox without even purporting to identify any neglect of duty or malfeasance … defies ninety years of Supreme Court precedent." #NLRB

BREAKING: Trump Illegally PURGES #NationalLaborRelationsBoard : 'Major Constitutional Crisis'

May I ask a question?: Shouldn't there be press conferences, more protests in the streets of Amerika, and people in charge of removing #NLRB if they don't leave, just say 'No'?

I'm just frustrated, that's all. Worldwide, #farright politicians and their billionaire buddies break laws, stamp on constitutions and whatnot and ...nothing happens.

Continued thread

The #NLRB has 5 members appointed by the president, & before #Trump fired Wilcox it had two vacancies. Without her, the board will lack a quorum & cannot issue decisions even in routine cases accusing companies or unions of violating federal #labor #law.

Once board members are confirmed, federal law allows them to be removed only for "neglect of duty or malfeasance in office." It was not immediately clear whether Trump gave a reason for terminating Wilcox.

Apple finally filed its Answer to the NLRB's Complaint about Apple threatening, suspending, & firing me in 2021

This is the first public "answer" Apple's ever filed about retaliating against me

Apple's defense is, (checks notes): the complaint violates Apple's Constitutional right to harass me

#Apple argues that NLRB's Complaint against them, alleging that Apple suspending & firing me violates the NLRA, is that the #NLRA, #NLRB, & this complaint, all violate the US Constitution. #BadApple

Generally I try to substantiate claims I make so here are the receipts for some complaints earlier today...

On Dec. 18 2024, #NLRB finally sued #Apple for Apple illegally threatening, suspending, & firing me in 2021. #BadApple

The hearing is scheduled in 2025. NLRB is asking for, among other things: Apple to apologize to me & rehire me, & Apple to give everyone at Apple (managers & workers) labor rights training.
