Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders launched a probe into Trump’s unprecedented firings of Democratic members of the NLRB and EEOC.

The dismissals, including NLRB’s Gwynne Wilcox and EEOC Chair Charlotte Burrows, eliminated agency quorums, hampering their functions.

Legal scholars argue these firings violate long-standing precedent protecting independent agency leaders. Wilcox and others plan legal action.

Sanders warned the moves weaken labor protections, while the EEOC, under new leadership, is already rolling back workplace gender identity protections.
