Mark Gruenberg at People’s World reports from Washington, D.C. the top Enforcement Officer at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Acting General Counsel William Cowen, has cut back on remedies for Workers harmed by company law-breaking. The latest Anti-Labor move by the Administration follows a Supreme Court ruling upholding the President’s right to remove the Pro-Labor Gwynn Wilcox from the Board. A Lower Court ruling said her firing was illegal and reinstated her until the U.S. Supreme Court reversed their decision. That Board was set up under the Wagner Act, passed during the Administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its purpose was to help ensure the protection of collective bargaining and other rights for Workers and the Trump Administration, from early on during his first term in office, has been dead set on crippling the NLRB’s ability to carry out its mission. Action by Workers and subsequent Lower Court rulings, however, can mitigate the harm done, according to Jennifer Abruzzo, the Pro-Labor person who held the job before the arrival of the Anti-Labor William Cowen. Abruzzo, former General Counsel at the NLRB, was interviewed by People World, and advised: “Keep good and detailed records, and save all your receipts and bills, thus being ready with written proof of how much you had to shell out to keep you and your family alive after management broke Labor Law.”
