The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has effectively ceased operations after President Trump fired board member Gwynne Wilcox, leaving it without the quorum needed to function. This unprecedented move has raised concerns among labor advocates, as it benefits employers by halting enforcement of pro-union rules. Critics argue that this action, influenced by figures like Elon Musk, undermines the agency's role in protecting workers' rights and could lead to a significant decline in union representation.
