DC Appeals Court Decides to Take Over Executive Branch Hiring/Firing – Reinstates Removed Members of National Labor Relations Board and Merit Systems Protection Board

On January 27, 2025, just six days into his second term as US President, Donald Trump fired far-left National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox. Trump fired Cathy Harris, a member of the Merit Systems Protection Board, on February 10, 2025. Harris is a far-left member of the board that oversees government hirings and firings. She needed to go.

Trump fired Biden-appointed Gwynne Wilcox who was the Democrat chair of the National Labor Relations Board.

Gwynne Wilcox later challenged Trump’s decision to fire her. In a statement to Reuters, Wilcox said she will pursue “all legal avenues” to challenge Trump’s firing.

On Monday a DC Appeals Court blocked President Donald Trump from removing radical Democratic members from two federal labor boards.

In a 7-4 vote, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated a March 28 ruling by a three-judge panel of the same court, according to Reuters.

The latest rulings again reinstates Cathy Harris from the Merit Systems Protection Board and Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board.
