Former NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox is suing President Donald Trump over her removal, arguing it violates federal law protecting board members from dismissal without cause. Her lawsuit, filed in Washington, D.C., challenges the president’s authority over independent agencies and could become a Supreme Court test case. Trump’s legal team claims a 2020 Supreme Court ruling supports his decision, but legal scholars argue it contradicts existing precedent. Wilcox, represented by Gupta Wessler LLP, seeks reinstatement, and the case is expected to move swiftly through the courts.
