The former head of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), a US labor watchdog agency, is suing President Donald Trump over her termination as an NLRB board member after the 47th President suddenly removed her from her position last week.
Gwynne Wilcox, who served as chairman of the NLRB until Monday, January 27, has described her own removal as "unprecedented and illegal". She has filed a lawsuit against Trump and the man he hired to replace her, Marvin Kaplan, stating that she was dismissed for a "blatantly political purpose that flies in the face of the NLRB's independent status," according to the Guardian.
