President Donald Trump purged two National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) leaders known for supporting worker rights on Tuesday, signaling a sharp re-orientation of federal law enforcement towards a management-friendly approach favored by business executives and supporters like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
Jennifer Abruzzo, former President Joe Biden's appointee as the NLRB's general counsel, was fired by email late on Monday. Gwynne Wilcox, one of two Democratic board members, received her notice on Tuesday morning, but said she would pursue "all legal avenues" to challenge it.
