A federal judge ruled that former President Trump's removal of Democratic labor board member Gwynne Wilcox was unlawful, ordering her reinstatement. The decision restores a functioning quorum to the National Labor Relations Board, which had been unable to rule on labor disputes. The Trump administration argued that protections against removing board members were unconstitutional, but the judge firmly rejected that claim, stating presidential power is not absolute. The ruling allows the NLRB to resume handling cases involving worker rights and union disputes, though the Trump administration plans to appeal.
