Breaking: Abruzzo Fired From NLRB by Trump

by Michael VanDervort

Early this morning, Bloomberg reported that the Trump administration has fired Jennifer Abruzzo, the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board.


According to a statement from the NLRB website,


NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo issued the following statement on her last day at the National Labor Relations Board:


“It’s been the greatest honor and privilege to be General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board and to work alongside such talented and dedicated federal employees. We have accomplished so much through our robust education, protection, and enforcement efforts, including empowering workers to collectively seek improved wages, benefits and working conditions from their employers. There’s no putting that genie back in the bottle. So, if the Agency does not fully effectuate its Congressional mandate in the future as we did during my tenure, I expect that workers with assistance from their advocates will take matters into their own hands in order to get well-deserved dignity and respect in the workplace, as well as a fair share of the significant value they add to their employer’s operations.”
