### 'Blatantly illegal': Judge reinstates labor board member fired by Donald Trump

An aide to President Donald Trump fired Gwynne Wilcox from National Labor Relations Board, but a judge ruled that broke the law.

Wilcox's lawyers pointed to a federal law that allows the president to remove a member of the board for "neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but for no other cause" and said that no member of the National Labor Relations Board had been fired in its history. The judge agreed with Wilcox.

"In the ninety years since the NLRB’s founding, the President has never removed a member of the Board," Howell wrote. "His attempt to do so here is blatantly illegal, and his constitutional arguments to excuse this illegal act are contrary to Supreme Court precedent and over a century of practice."
