Trump has always sided with corporations over working people, so it's no surprise he tried to illegally remove someone who actually defends labor rights. The NLRB plays a crucial role in holding exploitative employers accountable, and having strong leadership there is essential. This case also highlights how much Trump and his allies want unchecked presidential power—he thinks the rules don’t apply to him. If this goes to the Supreme Court, we already know the conservative justices will try to back him, but the law is clear. Presidents shouldn't be able to fire independent officials just because they don’t like them. Workers deserve a government that protects their rights, not one that caters to billionaires.
