Susan Grundmann, the former chair of the Federal Labor Relations Authority, has withdrawn her lawsuit challenging President Trump’s decision to remove her from office, following a federal appeals court ruling that upheld similar firings of officials from other labor agencies. The decision reflects a broader judicial shift favoring greater presidential control over independent federal agencies. The case raised significant questions about the independence of labor boards that oversee disputes between federal agencies and public-sector unions.
