Supreme Court declines to reinstate fired NLRB member, upholding Trump's removal
The US Supreme Court refused to review the case of a Democratic NLRB member fired by President Trump, effectively allowing the termination to stand. The case centered on a federal law protecting NLRB officials from removal without cause, which a district judge had previously upheld. The Supreme Court's refusal to intervene is considered a win for the Trump administration's efforts to assert White House control over federal agencies.
