National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox, a Democrat who President Donald Trump removed from the labor dispute panel long before her five-year term was set to expire, wants the U.S. Appeals Court in Washington, D.C. to review a hold on her reinstatement after a lower court ruled that her termination was illegal.
The board oversees union organizing and collective bargaining disputes and hears cases where violations of the National Labor Relations Act are alleged. an An independent federal agency, the board has been without a quorum since January, when Wilcox was fired, along with Jennifer Abruzzo, general counsel, and Jessica Rutter, deputy general counsel.
