House Democrats are calling on President Donald Trump to reverse his unprecedented and legally dubious firing of a member of the National Labor Relations Board.
The lawmakers wrote in a letter to the White House Wednesday that Trump’s ouster of Gwynne Wilcox, a Democrat member supposed to serve through August 2028, violates federal labor law and the constitutional principle of separation of powers.
