CWA: NLRB Nominations Display Trump’s Anti-Worker Agenda

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to the nomination of Jim Murphy and Scott Mayer to be Board members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Claude Cummings Jr., President of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union, issued the following statement:

Trump's anti-worker agenda and disrespect for the rule of law continue to be on full display. President Trump is seeking to replace National Labor Relations Board Member Gwynne A. Wilcox, an experienced Black woman who is well steeped in labor law, with two anti-worker men, who have elevated corporate interests above workers' rights for decades. It's way past time to return Gwynne A. Wilcox to her rightful position at the NLRB, to implore Congress members to confirm only fully qualified individuals committed to the NLRB’s mission and to actually represent the interests of American workers and their families, to urge the Supreme Court to respect and preserve the Constitution and full separation of powers of the three branches of government, and to call out the President for his anti-worker and unlawful actions.
