They fired her, because she's black, that has everything to so witu Stephen Miller, Russell Vought and Elon. I hope they remeber what happenedWhen hitler tried things like this?Look what happened to him. His own staff, tried to kill him 8 times

won't hold my breath waiting for tRitler/musksethefricannazi to start smearing the court--I won't have wait.

nateofsun.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes! But I'm sure they'll use everything they have to keep her from her work

xlenc.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wonderful news. Do you have any idea how this will affect decisions that were made in her absence?

kimkelly.bsky.social•2 days ago

They couldn’t reach a quorum in her absence so idk if any were made at all

jamesdennishoff.bsky.social•2 days ago

Interesting. We'll see if this survives the appeals process and whether or not Trump will respect the decision.

The shit show continues.

Ms. Wilcox is the first Black woman to serve on the Board since its inception in 1935, and is also the first Black woman to serve as Chair of the NLRB. The D.C. court ruled that her January firing violated the National Labor Relations Act.

This is win for labor and a loss for Trump.

kimkelly.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is good news for workers, too; with Ms. Wilcox back on the board, the NLRB would (theoretically at least) be able to reach a quorum, make decisions, and get to work on its enormous backlog of cases.

This really is fantastic news for labor. I’m pleased to see the ruling was issued this soon.

The best news of the day

I'm worried that Trump's going to appeal this to the SCOTUS.

kissoff888.bsky.social•2 days ago

Of course he will. Every time he doesn't get his way on things he will bump it up to his bought and paid for court.

eric1990s.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is exactly why the court of appeals (if this goes to an appeals court) should say the decision is final and cannot be appealed any further.

Great News!

Here's hoping they comply with the court order

Hell yeah! Needed good news today.

We must stop trump. He is burning 🔥 our Nation to ashes. No fucking joke! He must be stopped!!

iskios.bsky.social•2 days ago

The point of these appointments is to assure continuity as administrations change. It is really astounding to me that Trump and his demonic minions would think it’s a good idea to remove them like this.

Well, astounding is a strong word. More like expected yet stupid.

Obviously not going to happen but nice to see.

This will make Elon quite upset

I love the fact that some of the worst people in our country are going to really hate this, lose sleep, and make stupid moves as a result of this decision. 🥸

She should not be identified as a former anything!

kimkelly.bsky.social•2 days ago

Former as in she isn’t currently holding the job now but hopefully will be again shortly, I thought that was the most accurate wording

kimkelly.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh, and she’s apparently not going to hold the role of chair anymore, so that’s also where “former” comes in!

asteroidnova.bsky.social•2 days ago

Was her termination lawful? Then she wasn't terminated and it's not former. Don't concede prematurely to the fascists.

chanda.bsky.social•2 days ago

I do think that we should not linguistically cede that illegal expulsions are in fact actual firings, especially when the legality is being litigated (and so far in most cases, successfully) but I hear you about the fact that she is not going to be reinstated as chair.

DOGE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
