President Trump on Monday fired two leaders of the National Labor Relations Board, in a major attack on workers’ rights and labor unions. Trump’s surprise removal of Democratic NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox came even though federal law says that board members can only be fired for neglect or malfeasance.
The Amazon-owned grocery store brand says it's 'disappointed' in the employees' plan to join the United Food and Commercial Workers union.
Democratic NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox called her removal “unprecedented and illegal” and vowed to challenge the decision.
Workers at a Whole Foods Market in Pennsylvania voted to unionize on Monday, becoming the first group of employees to pull off a labor win at the Amazon-owned grocery store chain.
