Former National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox, who was fired by President Donald Trump, is asking federal Judge Beryl Howell to be reinstated.

A federal judge reversed the firing of a National Labor Relations Board member by President Donald Trump, with a scathing ruling that said “an American president is not a king.” The ordered reinstatement of former NLRB chair Gwynne Wilcox came a month after she sued to be returned to the board.

Judge Beryl Howell, who reinstated NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox, said Trump's "power to remove federal officers and honest civil servants...is not absolute."

In case that could define limits of Trump’s presidential power, federal judge reinstates labor agency member, warning of damage if Trump continues to rule like a king.

Gwynne Wilcox was the first National Labor Relations Board member ever fired. A judge said Trump does not have the power to fire board members 'at will.'

A judge's ruling reinstating NLRB board member Gwynne Wilcox sets the stage for a battle over the agency's future, which could end up at the Supreme Court.
