Wilcox’s legal counsel, Deepak Gupta, of Gupta Wessler LLP, emphasized the clarity of federal law. “The law is clear: NLRB members can only be removed for misconduct or neglect of duty, and only after due process,” Gupta said. “President Trump violated that law.”
Legal Request: An Urgent Reversal
The complaint, filed against Trump and NLRB Chairman Marvin Kaplan, seeks an immediate injunction to reinstate Wilcox to her post. It could set a significant precedent, not only for Wilcox’s case but for the protections of all independent federal agencies.
Counsel for Trump and Kaplan has yet to issue a statement or provide further information.
