Gwynne Wilcox’s lawsuit is the first to challenge the president’s ouster of several members of independent boards — moves that appear to contravene a 1935 Supreme Court ruling.

Former NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox has sued over her unprecedented removal from the board by President Donald Trump, in a case that could test the limits of presidential authority over independent agencies.

Gwynne Wilcox said her NLRB removal "defies ninety years of Supreme Court precedent that has ensured the independence of critical government agencies."

Gwynne Wilcox, an erstwhile member of the federal labor board, says Trump violated the law and Supreme Court precedent by removing her.
