Calling all families! Join New Labor as we celebrate our 25th anniversary with "Nuestras Voces, Nuestros Colores", through the collective creation of a mural and a workshop on Latin American rhythms, with cumbia as the central theme, the rhythm that unites the nations of the Americas.

As a federal heat rule becomes ever more unlikely, even in the best-case scenario #workers would still have to wait two years for #HeatProtections to go into effect.

But workers can’t wait for #HeatJustice. Learn why @prospect.org: prospect.org/labor/2025-0...
Workers Roast as Federal Heat Standard Languishes

BREAKING: the U.S. District Court in D.C. has found that Trump’s firing of former NLRB Chair Gwynne A. Wilcox’s firing was unlawful, and ruled that she must be immediately reinstated to serve out the rest of her term as a board member.

She was appointed and confirmed to a 5-year term in 2023.
Text: UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA GWYNNE A. WILCOX, Plaintiff, v. DONALD J. TRUMP, in his official capacity as President of the United States and MARVIN E. KAPLAN, in his official capacity as Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, Civil Action No. 25-cv-334 Judge Beryl A. Howell Defendants. ORDER Upon consideration of plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 10, defendants’ cross motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 23, the legal memoranda in support and in opposition, and the entire record herein, for the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, it is hereby-- ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 10, is GRANTED; it is further ORDERED that defendants’ motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 23, is DENIED; it is further DECLARED that the termination of plaintiff Gwynne A. Wilcox was unlawful, in violation of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 153(a), and therefore null and void; it is further… DECLARED that plaintiff Gwynne A. Wilcox remains a member of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), having been appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate to a five-year term on September 6, 2023, and she may be removed by the President prior to expiration of her term only “upon notice and hearing, for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but for no other cause,” pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 153(a); it is further ORDERED that plaintiff shall continue to serve as a member of the NLRB until her term expires pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 153(a), unless she is earlier removed “upon notice and hearing, for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, ” id.; it is further ORDERED that defendant Mark Kaplan, as well as his subordinates, agents, and employees, are ENJOINED, during plaintiff’s term as a member of the NLRB, from removing plaintiff from her office without cause or in any way treating plaintiff as having been removed from office, from impeding in any way her ability to fulfill her duties as a member of the NLRB, and from denying or obstructing her authority or access to any benefits or resources of her office; it is further ORDERED that defendant Mark Kaplan and his subordinates, agents, and employees provide plaintiff with access to the necessary government facilities and equipment so that she may carry out her duties during her term as a member of the NLRB; and it is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. SO ORDERED. Date: March 6, 2025 This is a final and appealable order.
